Denise ... very nice, is that a female Red Winged Blackbird? Strange coincidence because I went to a local woodland refuge this afternoon to see what was about and the only thing I found that was cooperative was a Red Winged Blackbird! Took this with the 500mm hand held on the 1D MKIV.
Great shot, Joel! Yes, I believe mine is a female R-W, I had to look it up because they look nothing like the male!
Here is a shot I took of a baby robin in a nest in my backyard bush. There are actually two in the nest but I guess only one was hungry!
