Wonderful timing and colors in this, Vern. Fun to catch her on the hop.

Another grand bird photo Vern. The 'big' lens is working out well for you.
Eloine 08-May-2010 06:05
Perfectly framed with that blue strip behind!
Paul Milholland08-May-2010 02:24
Quite a catch, Vern.

Great catch Vern, flaps down ready for landing, or take-off?
Ruth Voorhis07-May-2010 21:53
Super catch, Vern!
Mark Krauss07-May-2010 19:48
Great catch!!!!
Jack Hoying07-May-2010 17:09
Great catch!! Yes, with those cat-tails, I'd bet on a female redwing also.

Sorry about the typo in your name Vern!

A rare shot to catch Bern! Nice color in this photo too.

Nice catch Vern, it's always nice to get a new one!!

Not tack sharp but a neat image anyway. I like how it still has one foot on the reed. I didn't think redwings had that kind of speckling, unless its a young one (referring to Kens comment) Linda S

Great image, well caught.

Well caught Vern, its hard to get a bird in flight.
Steve Thuman07-May-2010 05:45
Wow, what a fantastic photo of that little guy!!!
Ken Haley 07-May-2010 05:09
Vern, my guess is that this is a female red-winged blackbird, very common at Fern Ridge wetlands. Quite similar to the waterthrush, per the bird book. Regardless, a nice shot.
