Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus)
Wakodahatchee Wetlands, Delray Beach, FL, on 1 May 2002 A tightly-woven nest was tucked neatly into a tree about ten feet above the Wako boardwalk. At the camera’s position about 6 feet above the ground, the inside of the nest could not be seen. On this day the RWBB youngster had hopped up from the nest to an adjacent branch that was fairly well-hidden. I waited a while for mom or dad to feed him, but it didn't happen. I gave up after he tumbled back into the nest. This is the best of the three shots I took. Despite the foreground foliage obscuring a good portion of the chick, this continues to be one of my favorite images. Some may have seen it; most have not. The intense coloration of the bird is accurate; the image is not oversaturated. Thanks for looking. Comments, critiques and reposts are welcome.
