I love it when the males puff up their wings right as they are giving a call, as if to insist that they have something very important to say. You captured this moment so well, H.J.
Blackbirds ruffle their feathers when they are challenged, it’s like a warning, kind of “flexing the muscle” for intimidation purposes. Thank you Tanja. π
A magnificent photograph.
Thank you very much Susan. π
Great shot of their spirit and energy, HJ, awesome! π
These birds are always making great dramatic entrances. Have you noticed that? Thank you so much Donna. π
They do! I’ve watched them strut their stuff, their epaulets flaired! I think they think they can take on anything. Quite entertaining! π
Love this photo – and this bird! My fiancΓ© leaned over while I was looking at this picture and now he’s a fan too. Such a neat looking blackbird.
Thank you Arbie, I appreciate that. π
Love this shot HJ, catches the character of the bird well.
Thanks, Ashley. π
