Blackbird that loved the camera

This red-winged blackbird was everywhere we went at the gardens that day and always happy to pose for a picture.

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

He is surely interested in your camera lense. He is following you and hoping for a treat. He doesn't realize, he is the subject of a treat for our eyes. V
