Yellow headed blackbirds

[JP Bruce]

They kept landing and taking off in big groups. I had never seen these birds before. They reminded me of the red-winged blackbirds at Bosque.

Any comments welcome

They are all flying a bit away from you and the white spots in the BG are a little distracting, but still this is a great shot, very nice capture! Congratulairons!

Nice blast you got here, Bruce. Agree on the white sport being a distraction.

Keep them coming!

Like the action. Wish ther might have been a little better BG. I've always wanted to get an image of this bird. I notice that some of the birds have a white pannel in the wing: does this designate sex of the bird? Interesting image.

Thanks for all your comments. I'll try this weekend for better background but it's a fenced in area so I'm limited as to where I can go. Some other photos had buildings in bg - I know that's not good.
