It was late afternoon by then, and not much was moving, but I did find lots of Red-winged Blackbirds, including this female with nesting materials. The males establish the territories but the females build the nest. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds and wildlife modifications.
