Photo by Kort Duce A male red-winged blackbird takes flight after perching atop a young tree at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, the upper branches of a young willow-leaved pear tree fill the frame as the bird lifts off in the upper left quadrant. The blackbird appears momentarily suspended, wings raised and legs still extended, just before the powerful downstroke that will carry it into flight. In the distance, softly blurred mountains of Rocky Mountain National Park rise beneath a blue sky dotted with puffy cumulus clouds.
