A red winged blackbird sits among the cattails - a sure sign of spring in these parts.

Beautiful ! And DOF is superb it gives a very light atmosphere around the bird ! Composition with some water on the left is great !

very well captured. Nice balanced exposure so you can still see the detail on the bird. Great nature shot

A successful shot and a good one. The bird is very clear and sharp.
