Red-winged Blackbird
Red-winged Blackbird
The picture of this male Red-winged Blackbird was taken at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York. I used the Canon EOS 5D Mark III with the Canon 100-400mm lens to photograph this beauty on a really pretty sunny day in early spring.
My favorite bird! I just saw my first one this spring yesterday. It’s amazing how this bird made my heart soar and me smile from ear to ear. I wrote about them on my blog, “Refined by Age” last year to stress the importance of the environment as one of the Seven Dimensions of Wellness: http://refinedbyage.com/category/environmental-2/
