Had another pad earlier, but as I was uploading the new gallery, decided on this one instead..

Went to a local lake today. Red winged blackbirds everywhere.. Naturally whenever, I'd tried to get one IN flight.. he went directly over my head and into the sun.. Right as I was leaving, I did manage to get one tho.. swear he was laughing at my attempts-and making me dizzy in the progress http://www.pbase.com/image/27900615is the picture.

I walked around half the lake, Lots of different birds, baby ducks, and even glimpsed a beaver in the water.. Made for a nice day, and now some nice sunburned arms too. I must match this bird now, think if I go back tommorrow and wear black short sleeves, maybe they'll think I'm kin? lol.
