I was out at Circle B Bar Reserve this morning, overcast sky kind of dark at times. The Red-winged Blackbirds are back, I saw adults and juveniles. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

P.S. I guess I am not to fond of the broken perch but couldn't do anything about it.

Nice pose with a nice perch and background. The bird looks soft. One of my favorite local birds to photograph.
Hi John, thank you for viewing and commenting. Looking again at the image I agree with your comments. I think a bad choice to workup from the series. Here is another from the same series. I believe it is sharper, I also added contrast for the flat light.
