Red-winged Blackbird captured by Z 9 / Z600f4TC
It’s such an elegant photo requiring very little for success. Yet it eludes me still. When the air temp is 32 degrees or less, the breath appears at the blackbird broadcasts. The male was in FL last week, and while cool by FL standards, not cold enough for any breath to be seen. Last year in our backyard, when the males arrived, the morning temps were such that, no breath could be seen. Right now it’s cold enough, but the makes are establishing or defending territories. Fingers crossed in the next couple of weeks, it will all come together.
