Red-winged blackbird

[D. Robert Franz]

From the 08 Images for Conservation Pro Tour Contest. This will be my last post for some time since I leave tommorow for Texas and the 2010 ICF contest. I'm well prepared and determined. I wrote about it on my blog today. I'm not even sure I will have internet, I didn't in 08....

Wish me luck :D

Dale:

Excellent dorsal display, epaulets really pop, good detail in the blacks.
Would prefer a natural perch, but this is what RWB do!

Good luck on the contest!

Cheers

Good luck, I have seen many of your images and they are simply stunning. Hope you do well in the contest. A true test of talent.
