One of my favorite things to do in spring is grab the camera and take a walk down the road to our local 5-acre pond. I'm never quite sure what I'll find, but the beautiful red-winged blackbird is almost always there to greet me. I'll usually hear him before I see him ... and I invite you to visit Cornel Lab of Ornithology's "What Bird" page to hear his song:

The Cornel lab has this to say about him:

One of the most abundant birds across North America, and one of the most boldly colored, the Red-winged Blackbird is a familiar sight atop cattails, along soggy roadsides, and on telephone wires. Glossy-black males have scarlet-and-yellow shoulder patches they can puff up or hide depending on how confident they feel. Females are a subdued, streaky brown, almost like a large, dark sparrow. In the North, their early arrival and tumbling song are happy indications of the return of spring.

Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... this image will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."
