Red-Winged Blackbird

Almost everything has been written about this bird. I just thought that this one had an attitude worth posting. What do you think?

Lots of attitude, that's why they are an interesting subject. They pose in different ways, not a normal sitting bird.
Excelent shot and well done on the composition.

Toony tomorrow. :)

this one is doing rock n roll!!! or is he/she an elvis fan?

Une photo amusante, René. Un vrai personnage que ce merle aux épaulettes rouges (que nous n'avons pas). Très bien vu, pose étonnante, détails parfaits pour une photo difficile compte tenu du ciel éclatant derrière un sujet très foncé.

Ha, this made me smile. Is he directing traffic? Is he pointing to hidden treasure? Is little Jimmy trapped in a well over there?

Lovely capture Rene, lots of character. Very well done.

Superbe photo Rene !
Posture très inhabituelle sur les photos de cet oiseau.
Bravo !

René, another very nice one.

Composition is simply perfect. I do enjoy colors too. The black feathers and the blue sky produce a pleasant contrast.

Great job.

Je viens de regarder le film: La Chute. Il a l'air de dire Hail Hitler!
Je lui donne la Croix de Fer à ce carouge.

Bonjour René, l'instant était propice pour declencher la camera.Very well done, TFS Didier.

Hi Rene!
Wonderful shot!!!
I really love your screaming bird. it's wonderful!

Fantastic pose Rene! Reminds me of the guy on the deck of an aircraft carrier directing the pilots with his flags, call me strange! ;-)
Composed well with great colors and details seen in the black..Well done!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Dès que la photo s'est ouverte, j'ai éclaté de rire! Est bonne, est bonne, comme on dit par chez nous. Les couleurs sont pétantes, j'allais dire de santé... La branche en diagonal, la lumière dans l'oeil, les contrastes et la position sur l'arbre. Belle composition et image hilarante! Je vous l'emprunte comme favorite.

Great shot Rene, you sure brought out the color of red to this picture, they are wonderful bird, although a little hard to get close to sometimes.

Thanks for sharing Rene.

Jacques

Very good shot of beautiful bird.
Great colors and DOF.

Exceptional pose captured, Rene. Lovely composition and perfect exposure. So nice to have you back here. :)

Une posture plaisante, belle instantanée Rene
