Just too cute to ignore

One last picture that Tim took of this cute little blackbird. He was so fearless and willing to pose, I simply had to post it. Unfortunately, we didn’t see him (or most any other birds) when we went to the gardens last weekend.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

What a fantastic sharp shot! This is outstanding. Haven't seen a red-winged blackbird for some time now, they are busy flocking and moving south. V

Terrific sharp shot of this somewhat fluffed-up R-w Blackbird Tim. He doesn't look too pleased.

He looks a bit grumpy to my eye but he sure is in his prime with glossy feathers and red epaulets. Great photo, Tim.
