You end up loosing detail in the black plumage, or in the red, or in both! And, of course, you do not want to do that, because the Red-winged Blackbird is one of the most beautiful of North American songbirds. Really. Take a close look. <\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, they are also relatively cooperative. They will hop up on a cattail or branch right in front of you and sing lustily. This one, at Magee Marsh during the Biggest Week in American Birding, certainly posed nicely&#8230;and in good light to catch the subtlety of the plumage. <\/p>\n<p>Olympus OM-D E-M10 with 75-300mm zoom. 600mm equivalent.
