Yellow-headed Blackbirds
Apr 10, 2021 10:14:20 #
When I took the dogs out for a walk I had my flower lens on. I then saw the first yellow-headed blackbird (YHBB) of the season. We detoured to the lake and I got the attached shots. I wish I had a good long lens with me, but these are 85mm grabs.

Mike, you used the perfect lens - the one you had with you! These are great shots. We don't have these beauties in this part of the world.

If you get images this good, why wish for a different lens?
These shots are extreme crops and do not have the detail I get with my long lens.

Thanks, QD. If things are normal we will soon have many of these migrants at they pass through.

Beautiful birds! I’ve never seen one!
I never saw one until we moved out here.

Thanks, Carol, I saw them first when we moved here. They will occupy a great deal of our lake soon.
