These ladies are great hunters and your timing was perfect on this shot, Yves. Very nice detail in this image.. the female red-winged blackbirds are one of my favorite birds too. They work so hard to raise their young and I think they're very photogenic too.

Yves Langlois

Agree with you all the way Heather. I am sure all those bird mothers work hard. It is just that it is easier to look and admire the blackbird one.

Debra Plett

Awesome timing on this shot Yves, it certainly does tell a story like Jane said. Nice composition captured beautifully.

Yves Langlois

Thank you so much Debra. I specialy like the eye contact of the bird in that photo.

Clifford Dupuis

Yves Langlois

Thanks Clifford. For many reasons, the female blackbird is one of my favorite model.

Jane LeBlanc
