Red-winged and Yellow-headed Blackbirds Bosque Del Apache NWR
Nothing special about this. I just like how nearly every single bird in this image is at a 23.58 degree angle to the horizon. Last December we came across this flock of blackbirds that were flying from a tree to the cornstalks and back to the tree. Every time a car would come by these birds would fly from one spot to another as a large flock. I decided to see what I could get of them doing this so the next time I saw a car coming I pointed the camera at the birds while they were on the cornstalks. Sure enough they flew when the car got to a particular distance from them. I fired off two or three shots of them. This was the best one. I can't wait to get back down there this weekend. Nikon F5, 300/4 AF-S, TC20-EII, tripod and ballhead. Provia 100, RGB Matrix metering @ 0, Aperture Priority @ f9 Full frame. Comments and critiques are always welcome and appreciated. Thanks for looking. Bill Whala
