Yellow Headed Blackbird
Wetland gem calls and flits about the pond. Scarcely yards away a Trumpeter Swan sits patiently on its nest. We must save these treasure troves of the environment. Near Emigrant, Montana.

You composed this shot beautifully! I love the bright splash of color against the (fairly uniform) grey and beige of the reeds… Just perfect.

Such a striking bird! You captured is so well – composure, sharpness and DOF. But also a certain air of expectance.
