Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:22:53 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
A striking male red-winged blackbird is captured in sharp detail, perched on dried, rust-colored seed stalks amid a lush wetland meadow. The bird's glossy black plumage contrasts beautifully with its bright red and yellow shoulder epaulets. The foreground and background feature a diverse mix of grasses, wildflowers including small white daisies, and various seed heads in green and brown tones. The soft, blurred background creates excellent depth and isolates the subject, while the natural wetland habitat provides a perfect ecological context for this common yet photogenic marsh bird.
