While hiking at Cherokee Marsh, I came across a red-winged blackbird who was looking after the fledglings in his nest nearby. He was NOT happy I was around. Those birds have no fear, and will attack ANYTHING that threatens their nest.
I tried to capture him in flight as he kept dive bombing, while at the same time protecting my head from his attacks. Above is a composite of three of those photos.
After few minutes I started to walk away, and he was gracious enough to pose for a nice portrait, though still kept a close eye on me.
Wow excellent photo of the birds sillouetted (can’t figure out the spelling) against the sky! Hope all is well with you Jon!
Love, Barbra
I remember years ago you would see hundreds of red winged black birds hanging out on the telephone wires along rural roads.
