Hi Graydon: I really like the one where the bird is facing the camera but
looking photo right. Very nice there. Cheers, Christine

Graydon,
The 1st and the 4th are really nice.
Plus, I've seen many males over the years,
but never paid attention to what the female looked like.
Now that is interesting!
Regards, Bob S.

Female red-winged blackbirds spend most of their time invisible in a

platforms -- produced, along with about six male blackbirds crazed with
spring and highly visible, one visible female.

Taking pictures of songbirds generally makes me feel that f2.8 is very
slow and 800mm is awfully short, but these mostly came out OK. 800mm/F8
Rokinon mirror lens, K20D, ISO200, tripod and cable release. Shutter
speeds between 1/40 and 1/100.
