Red-winged Blackbird Wingspread

Description
It was springtime, and male Red-winged Blackbirds were trilling their mating call everywhere, hoping to woo females and defend their territory. I was just photographing this handsome male, when he spread his wings in take-off. My shutter speed was not very fast due to low light, so the wings have a wonderful ethereal blur to them! You can just see a bit of another bird in the background behind him.
One of the most abundant birds across North America, and one of the most boldly colored, the Red-winged Blackbird is a familiar sight atop cattails, along soggy roadsides, and on telephone wires. Glossy-black males have scarlet-and-yellow shoulder patches they can puff up or hide depending on how confident they feel. Females are a subdued, streaky brown, almost like a large, dark sparrow. In the North, their early arrival and tumbling song are happy indications of the return of spring.
Photo taken on April 22nd, in Longmont, Colorado
