2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Red-winged Blackbird (male), Vanier Park, Vancouver (British Columbia), Canada, Canada
Striking a pose

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

Sometimes, thing work out perfectly. This photo shows one of those time: This very striking male Red-winged Blackbird perched on a reed just in front of me and stayed there long enough for me to frame it perfectly, including by moving around a bit to maximize the lovely green background provided by the new spring leaves in the background. These perfect moments don't happen often, but I try to capture them as much as possible!

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!
