Blackbirds are challenging subjects to photograph. They are very active and it's difficult to exposure properly their fine black feathers. I always had a difficult time to photograph Blackbirds perching on the tall reeds but on the ground it was a little bit easier with exposure but not with composition.
My first portrait of male Yellow-headed Blackbird.
Here the Blackbird posed for a second and I got a shot without cutting his tail or bill.
Caught insect and ready to swallow it.
Staying in the dry grass for a while. Soon in a few seconds the Blackbird will be gone.

Qué distintos son esos mirlos con los de aquí. Estos son negros los machos y con un tono marrón las hembras y ambos con el pico naranja.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo y cuidate.
Estos mirlos son especialmente bellos con su pecho y cabeza amarillos sobre el fondo de plumas negras del resto del cuerpo. El nivel de detalle de las fotografías es muy bueno.
ReplyDeleteCuidense mucho
It has a very nice plume.
ReplyDeletewow great captures. I saw one only once and didn't have my camera ready. I have always wanted to see one again. They normally aren't here.
