2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Red-winged Blackbird (male), Jericho Park, Vancouver (British Columbia), Canada
Standing Tall Among the Reeds

Species: Red-winged Blackbird (male) | Location: Jericho Park, Vancouver (British Columbia), Canada

This photo was taken next to the main pond of one of my favourite urban green spaces in Vancouver, Jericho Park. Red-winged Blackbirds are especially boisterous in the spring and become practically fearless with respect to humans. I particularly like this picture because this male was in full breeding plumage and struck a very nice pose among the reeds.

About The Photographer

I am a lifelong birder and photographer who found his inspiration on North America's Pacific Northwest Coast (in British Columbia, Canada). Although I specialize in bird photos, I am also fascinated by all that nature can throw at me. I've even been known to be inspired by people and their constructions!
