Very nicely done, the activities between the RWBB's and the YHBB's is heating up around here so it must be approaching Summer.

Thanks Louie! Funny you mention that, because the reason I got such a close shot of the yellow-headed was because he had just given chase to a red-winged blackbird that was near me. They are both nesting in the same general area of the marsh.

Thanks Gary! The yellow-headed blackbirds are quite photogenic, especially when they land by close like this one did.

There are seemingly quite a few pole dancers there, Gordon! Well-captured and enjoyable images.
