Description

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life you were only waiting for this moment to arise....
Sorry I believe this is a immature male Redwing Blackbird and somehow this reminded me of the Beetles song.

Awesome rich, vivid colors in this incredible blackbird capture, Phyllis! Marvelous detail and clarity in both the bird and rose bush, but I think the background is exquisite and really sets him off wonderfully! Gorgeous work that I bet we see again! #9152817
