[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
hello after yesterday posting the noisy Red-winged Blackbird
taking his noisy bath, for my today's posting here is his female
that is perfectly camouflaged with her environnement

i love those birds, the Red-winged Blackbirds
and i love much more her female that she is
the opposite of her male, the female being discreet

this photo was shot with my
D-SLR-like Fujifilm bridge camera
in RAW format and ISO400

from the « All About Birds » website
here is some text on the Red-winged Blackbird :

http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Red-winged_Blackbird.html

« The Red-winged Blackbird is a highly polygynous species,
with one male having up to 15 different females making
nests in his territory. In some populations 90% of territorial
males have more than one female. But, from one quarter to
up to half of the young in "his" nests do not belong to the
territorial male. Instead they have been sired
by neighboring males. »

Hi Asbed,

She certainly is well cammouflaged!! The colors of the bark are identical to her. Good eye to even see the blackbird. You captured her face and plummage very well.

Jane

Hello Asbed,
Nice capture of this female red winged blackbird in her natural environment, she really is camouflaged.
Angela

Hello Asbed,

I did'nt no what the female for colors have, but thanks to this picture I can see that's indeed well camouflaged.
Good seeing this, I don't think that I saw this female in their habitat.

Hello Asbed,
The female Red-winged Blackbird is as camouflaged as her mate is showy, In this capture she certainly blends in well the BG, even though you have captured her sharply and from a fine POV.
TFS this interesting image,
Ivan

I was wondering what to look at in the thumbnail, but when I opened it,it was excellent!
very well done, Asbed!

Hola Asbed.
Takes time to find this little bird in the photo. Excellent cammouflage in the feathers.
Saludos
Luis52.

Certainly very well camouflaged Asbed..I'm still having trouble seeing her ;}
But see's taking care of business, looks intent in her "discreet" search for food..The male must be very busy with such a large harem.
No wonder he's so noisy..if you had 15 wifes you'd probably be noisy too ;-}}

Bonsoir Asbed, j'adore cette photo de camouflage, c'est superbe. Je suis fascinée par la façon dont les animaux disparaissent dans leur environnement. Tu as réussi à nous le démontrer, merci!

Francine
