The plumage in the young blackbirds is wonderful right now. A common bird, but I like the setting.

50D, 500mm wi/1.4, ISO 400, 1/40, F5.6
LARGER version also posted.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment or critique! Sharon

Sharon: This is really very nice. Great view of the blackbird, nice head turn and the nice perch with soft colors really add to the image. Love it!

Wonderful comp Sharon, I like the pose of the bird with the detail in the feathers, the nice foreground and the subtle background with just the hint of the grasses, very well done!
