The red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) is a passerine bird of the family Icteridae. It inhabits wetlands and grassy, open areas, especially where cattails are found. When making their distinctive springtime calls, the males try to look as imposing as possible.

I'm a photographer in Minneapolis, interested in many things. Sometimes I start with a plan, and sometimes something just catches my eye. I like to come up with my own spin on a subject and create an image with some sort of a twist. And when I know what I want, I'll spend a lot of time getting it.
