The male Red-winged Blackbirds are showing their Spring plumage. I captured each of these birds in flight in Iona Regional Park, which is just North of YVR (Vancouver International Airport). Iona tends to have a large concentration of Red-winged Blackbirds that can be seen year round - but are especially noticeable at this time of year. All of these were taken with my Nikon D500 and Sigma 100-400mm lens.

Here is one gliding with wings tucked in.

I would like to thank all of the other photographers who post in this forum. Your excellent work has inspired me to "up" my game when it comes to bird and wildlife photography.

These are superb BIF captures Craig, would love to see some of these but not much chance this side of the Atlantic. Well done. 👍👍👍
