Nature Common Sparrow

Female Red-Winged Blackbird in breeding plumage · 06:54 PM

In a not so common pose (for me anyway) - thanks wildman for giving me the proper classification.

I really like the complete composition here, water, reflection and a nicely photographed sparrow.

Thanks Bob these guys are usauylly hidden in the trees and move way too fast for me , it was a rare oppertunity for me that he rested there for a few minutes.

Nice shot -

- however I think it might be a female Red-Winged Blackbird in breeding plumage.

Damn I believe you are correct wildman - should have left the classification as a 'bird of sorts'

The water really makes this one Dave. Very nice.

The reflection and the small waves in the water do give this photo something extra.

Ditto.

It must have been hard to resist over cropping.

Thanks Jim , it's pretty dirty water actually but sometimes the light just hits it right.
