Change of pace

Tim did manage to find this red-winged blackbird among all the geese and ducks at the gardens.

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

*****

We went back down to Constitution Gardens, our favorite place for bird shots, although since the lake is still being drained (or left to evaporate, apparently) for maintenance, there weren’t many birds there other than geese and ducks.
