Redwing Blackbird

The only other human around was my fellow kayaker, everything was still and calm. This male Redwing Blackbird and his mate appear to have decided that we were to close as they both showed themselves and got quite vocal. A couple photos during a few moments enjoying the sight of them and we moved on, thinking a nest might be near.

Nice shot! They always seem to fly away just as I zoom and focus on them.

Thanks. They are pretty shy.
