A male Red-winged Blackbird hovers in front of a reflective pillar, challenging his own reflection for dominance. The pillar has an inscription at the top: "See yourself reflected in the landscape."

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #reflections, I'm going to forego the usual herons-in-water pictures and go with this angry #RedWingedBlackbird heroically defending its territory from itself. (It wasn't hurt...just annoyed.)

Take Hike Human - You're Cramping my Style! A male red-winged blackbird sings and displays perched among the cattails at Ridgefield NWR in Washington state. He's on the very top of a reed, looking straight in to the camera. His tail is flared out and and his bright red-orange shoulder patches are ruffled out and his wings are a little unfurled. His beak is open as he sings.

Red winged blackbird perched on a cottonwood log

This handsom lad took up a perch right next to me and insisted on my taking his portrait as I was watching the skies for circling osprey. I couldn't help but oblige! It was as though he was waiting in the reeds for this moment to arise.

A male Red-winged Blackbird perches on a clump of sumac berries and screams into the dawn.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #BlackAndRed, we have my favourite jerk bird, the #RedWingedBlackbird, here seen sounding his barbaric yawp.

A stocky bird with glossy black feathers and vivid red shoulder patches edged in yellow is perched on some marsh vegetation near a heron rookery in the Adirondack Mountains for upstate New York. The Red-winged Blackbirds that breed in the Adirondacks are short distance migrants who winter south of us and return to our wetlands in the spring. Red-winged Blackbirds migrate in flocks during the day, with males migrating before females.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #Black&Red, I submit this attractive Red-winged Blackbird. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-s...

A small charcoal gray bird sits facing away on a twig. He has a bright red head and a glimpse of red belly shows, too. There is a black line running from the back of his neck through his eye and to his short narrow beak.

Among wide green leaves, a black bird clings to a small branch. He has red on his rump and a medium, thick blue-gray beak. He has his head cocked toward the camera.

A glossy back bird sits in a green feeder and eyes the camera. His wing has a red patch rimmed with yellow.

A white bird with black wings and tail and a red head sits in some mulch. It is digging some seed from the much with a fairly long pale beak.

Per @robcrank68.bsky.social the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Black@Red. Here are a few offerings. #VermillionFlycatcher #ScarletRumpedTanager #RedWingedBlackbird #RedHeadedWoodpecker #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK
