Redwing Blackbirds

I was out east of Fort Vaalley on Highway 96 this afternoon and came upon one of those wonderful sights you see each year. Thousands of redwing blackbirds were in fields at Fenster Farms. Some were out in the fields, and a huge bunch were frolicking in a water hole. The water is really just a huge puddle where water collects any time we have a bunch of rain.

I had to stop and get out the camera. Wish I has something loner than a 300mm today. They wouldn't let me get too close.
