Super shot with the flashes of red and colour of the clover or what ever it is.

Glad you startled them. This makes an awesome image with the wildflowers below! Great shot, Michael!

What a great shot, I love the splash of colour from the flowers

Wow, that is such an impressive shot. Would be great in a calendar. Andrea

A wonderful nature photo with the flowers coloring the picture and the birds black and red! Good job Michael!

I really like this photo. The wild flowers are pretty and the wings show action. Love the spots of red, too.

Red-Winged Blackbirds are, for me, a difficult bird to approach. We don't seem to have the flock sizes around here that you do in this shot, or at least I've not seen them.

Great shot... color and composition.

Very very nice, Michael! I love the spots of red showing up and the
wonderful wild-flower mat below that really sets them off.

Well you sure did, Michael.
The result is delightful with all the activity
and the lovely pastel shades. A lovely image.
