Day 172: This Red-Winged Blackbird deserves having his photo used as today's feature. I'd been perched at the open window for half an hour, patiently and vainly waiting for a Varied Thrush to decide there was something worth inspecting which was not in the deep shadows under the contorted filbert while Mr. Blackbird kept pacing back and forth, as if to say, "Well, I'm here. Aren't I pretty enough?" Just to have something to do, I snapped a few pictures, not really expecting him to be quite so photogenic. I never got a clear shot of the thrush (for some reason, they are a difficult species for me despite being fairly common), but I am certainly not disappointed with this cute and cocky pose.
