This Red-winged Blackbird was poking about looking for food but was keeping his bright red wing patch almost hidden. I was hoping he would flash it a bit but not until he flew up into a tree could you see the large red area. And of course he was then hidden by the leaves in the tree.

I have always like the Red-winged Blackbirds, their color patch is pretty. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.
I don't think I've seen any of these beauties here in the desert but, I remember them from growing up in Illinois. That flash of red is always a bit of a surprise when you see it.
Nice bird! I have never seen.

I am always happy to see the Redwing Blackbirds, and the Yellow Headed ones also. They like to hang around water and wetlands.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that's just chance or if they deliberately do that to make themselves less conspicuous? Lovely photo anyway, I wish we had them over here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bird, I've never seen one before.
