I doubt these guys get much attention from the lens...

What kinda bird is it ? Never seen one ! 

[Huntbear]

Awesome shots!  This bird is quickly becoming my nemisis.  The Yellow Headed Blackbird, close cousin to the Red Wing.. they will even interbreed...

So there I was... backed down the boat launch, putting gear in my pontoon that I'd just offloaded. Then I hear this squak, squak, squak. I did not expect to see this guy. I went back to the truck for the cam. I took several shots of him, and could hear another not far away. He gave me the best opportunity at 30yds.

Looks like  a great opportunity you had there, Steve!  They are quite unique, aren't they?!  That squawking sound is a one-of-a-kind - I can't think of any other bird that makes a sound like that.  Thanks for sharing!

The long drawn out squak reminds me of a Parrot. The sound in that environment caught me off guard.

Great shots.  I've been thinking about getting into the float tube and cozy up to a couple.   They do put on quite a show.

That's a lot of Yellow heads!

I saw a Redwing this weekend. Didn't have the camera with me though.
