Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:47:52 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
A striking male red-winged blackbird is captured in profile, gripping a twisted wire cable against a pristine blue sky. The bird's jet-black plumage contrasts beautifully with its vibrant red shoulder patch (epaulette), which is partially visible. The bird appears alert, gazing off to the left, with its sharp beak and sleek silhouette clearly defined. The telephoto lens has isolated the subject perfectly against the cloudless sky, creating a clean, minimalist composition. The lighting is excellent, revealing texture in the feathers while maintaining the bird's dramatic dark profile.
