Male gymnast- Yellow-headed Blackbird
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
From my trip to Manitoba.
With a golden head, a white patch on black wings, and a call that sounds like a rusty farm gate opening, the Yellow-headed Blackbird demands your attention. Look for them in western and prairie wetlands, where they nest in reeds directly over the water. They’re just as impressive in winter, when huge flocks seem to roll across farm fields. Each bird gleans seeds from the ground, then leapfrogs over its flock mates to the front edge of the ever-advancing troupe. |

beautiful bird. nice angle and nicely presented. tfs.
Hi Peter. I like the golden orange-yellow to him. I assume he's like our Red-Wing Blackbirds-that he resides in the swamp cattails. You mentioned farmland though. Are they a field bird more than a swamp? Beautiful to see. A flawless picture. TFS Trevor
Bonsoir Peter,Bonsoir Mario,
Une attitude originale du sujet dans une belle lumière et sous un bon angle de prise de vue.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
