Went on a early evening walk around the Sunnyvale Baylands. Found a large flock of
Red-Winged Black Birds flying around the hills and levees.

Good image! I saw this kind of birds every time I went to Filoli, but never had a chance to catch one shot like this¡ã @@"

Great colour and detail, you can almost hear the dry brush rustling. The bird on the right looks to be saying "bring me back a worm while you're out!".

Great timing on this-they really stand out among the reeds.

Beautiful shot! The flash of red is nice but I love the browns on the head of the one on the grass.

Nice contrast of red colour among the leeves! Bravo Bryan.

Really the only way to see the red on these birds is to capture them in flight when they change from ordinary looking blackbirds into a beauty like this one. Super catch.

Stunning! From the looks he's getting I'd say he's disturbed the neighborhood a bit...

Beautiful capture. That lens seems to work super nice.

Great shot! Love the movement of the wing as Linda said, and love the bright red of the bird! Wonderful contrast with all the muted tones around him.
