This was the only one who would pose for me yesterday. Just curious, shouldn't spring be here by now ?

Very nice shot of the Red winged black bird

Thanks Ec, I've been struggling to get shots of anything lately so it was nice to get something to cooperate for a few minutes lol

Very nice! The rwbbs around here seem very skittish and I have yet to get a decent shot. Well done!

 

[BillM]

Thanks Brian, they have been extremely skittish this year. I'm still waiting for that "spring" thing to arrive, it's 37 out right now.

Fantastic - whenever I try to get the RWBBs, I can't get such great detail in the black. These are perfect.

We have an RWBB that marauds my son's tiny little finch feeder. Wipes us right out of seed whenever he comes - either eating it or dumping it on the ground for the mourning doves.

Thanks CC, they really are an interesting little bird. I'm glad they stay away from my bird feeders, eating all of my bird food is reserved for the grackles who should be showing up as soon as it warms up a little, if it ever does lol

Love the little contrast of colours these have Bill. Excellent sharp shots and just love the comp on the first shot in here. Nicely placed with that twig and corner angle, beautiful backgrounds for a dark bird to stand out, really nice work in all these.

All the best Bill.

Nice clear shots!
Agree on the question of 'shouldn't we have spring by now?' That seems to be the question here at the Canal also? The Cormorants are sitting at the mouth of the Herring Run, just waiting, but we need a couple more degrees on the water temp!

Nice shots Bill, RWBB are a pain to get exposed correctly..

Thanks all, I've been working really hard on handholding, boy that sounds weird when I say it outloud lol
