Red-winged blackbird at the gardens

We went down to Constitution Gardens today, the first time in a long time, and there were ducks, geese, a cormorant, robins, crows and blackbirds but unfortunately no great blue heron.

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

Great capture, nice to see the signs of spring, after our long dark winter.

Another sure sign of spring is the return of these blackbirds. We actually have them here as of last week in spite of the snow.

A very nice close up detail is excellent with a nice perched pose .
Nice blue sky really enhances the composition.

The birds have really been on the move after this long, cold winter. We had the red-singed black birds come through in early February. They were on their way North. Noisy lot. But always a sure sign of Spring for us in the South. V
