Description
This is the female Redwinged Blackbird
...perhaps. Monjo71 pointed out below the resemblence of the female to juvenile birds. This one does appear smaller and more disarrayed than the females I saw and is likely a baby fledged fairly recently. These are colored for camouflage, naturally.
Even in the tiny spot of cattail reeds these birds call home and where they are now caring for their offspring, they only need move a foot down and no birds would be seen.
I suppose in nature, male animals like the male redwinged are supposed to be the most colorful..all to attract the female. She has her work to do and needs cover.
Well, with us humans, we guys got left out. : )

I don't beleive I have seen a female and if I have, I did not notice her or recognize her as a red-winged black bird. excellent shot.
In nature males are most colourfull , Human beings are so different !;-))) Excellent capture, I love the DOF .....
Although a little off in terms of focus - it's an interesting shot - songbirds are always so hard to catch! I wouldn't have recognized it either as for what it is!
Very nice shot!
that a very small bird you shot and it a wonderful shot
It might be a female Tom, but from the size of it, it appears to be a juvenile redwinged blackbird. The young look like the females until they develop their adult plummage. As Klaus noted, the focus isn't spot on but the composition and colors are great. Nice work
very nice, lovely capture
Very nice and lovely capture!
Very nice work!
