A male red-winged blackbird, who insisted on staying right on the border of my lens' range, perched on a bullrush in a swamp. Glad that there is another male to the right and behind him to emphasize whic species it is. Had a tough time choosing a song whose title I wanted to shoot, but glad I got this shot.

I think that this is a great shot it could be the album cover.

Love the general idea, but I find the stump (I think thats what it is) a little distracting, also the red on the bird in the background.

Nice image. I would have liked it more if the bird had been a bit more prominent.

Nice shot for the title - I like the one sitting very quietly in the upper right, too.

Great focus on the bird. Wish that stump wasn't in the lower left.
