Thanks Clifford, I just couldn’t not believe how at ease he was with people. This pic was taken in a rural industrial park so maybe the birds are use to people traffic.

What a cool portrait of this handsome blackbird, Debra. They're very expressive birds with great eyes and you captured that so well here in very nice detail.

Thanks Heather, he really did seem to want the attention. So I did not want to disappoint him.

Nice one Debra. Agree with Jane about the background. The title match perfectly the pose of the guy here and the yellow eye has someting to do with it. The red pole and blue corner are a nice add on too.

Thank you Yves. He did give me a nice pose that I took advantage of. I was surprised and pleased to see how the background turned out.
