Still at it

The same red-winged blackbird as in a previous picture, but in a different location. I don’t think he ever stopped singing. I wonder what Mrs. Blackbird (two pictures back) thought of all that.

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

The butterfly that finally gave up the ghost, posted earlier:

He is putting his all into his singing. I love the way they puff up those red epaulets when they sing, and I love the way you caught it so perfectly. VV
