Red-Winged Blackbird

This female was photographed during my trip to South Texas (where I'm still enjoying myself). It was really hot out, and this bird was trying to cool off near the water where our blind was set up.

Hi Doug,
Super perch and clean BG. Are you correcting on laptop??? I ask because it looks like the whole thing could use a bit of toning down on my monitor to make it pop more...and then it right on!

Yes, I am using a laptop. And I think I'm not going to do it anymore because things just don't look the same after I upload to the web.
