STOPS ALONG THE WAY

Female Red-winged Blackbird

I featured a female RWB at the beginning of May. At the time it was the only one I saw although there were quite a few males about.  Their numbers seem to be balancing out now that breeding season has begun.

    But both seem very at ease posing for photos, of which I am always greatful. 😏🤓

    The males are often so flashy; the females have their own beauty but it’s much more subtle.

    I wonder what the criteria are in assessing the best mate?? 😉

    This is the perfect candid shot; the subject seems to be deep in thought.
