      Very nice! Blackbirds in general can be hard to photograph. However, these birds cause much more than their fair share of damage!

      He is beautiful, I don't mind them in the summer around here. Great lighting and detail in this shot.

      lovely composition - good use of the light. I think all birds are interesting, even those that have habits we think are questionable or even abhorrent.

      Not my favorite bird either, but I remember my excitement the first time I saw one. It is a great photo showing wonderful color and detail. The eye is very sharp!
