Super shot Heather. I don't know how you got that uniform pale green but it is very nice. You capture a very good pose of the bird. The face look like a bird of prey. that bird is one of my favorite because there is numbers of them and they usualy do a nice picture.

Wow great capture Heather. Love the green background...great bokeh. Red wing is in perfect focus.

Thanks Debra, much appreciated! Cattails blowing in the wind make a nice background.. soft and blurry :)

Description
This female Red-winged Blackbird was getting pretty edgy and she wasn't saying much, which seemed unusual, but it was obvious she was getting more upset by the second as she fluttered about from one cattail to another. It finally dawned on me that in my efforts to get a decent shot on a windy day I was holding her up and that she had food ready to deliver to her young. Lesson learned so I quickly grabbed a few more shots and let her get on with the task of feeding them..
