Red-winged Blackbird

Red-winged Blackbird

Shutter Priority gives me the choice of what shutter speed I want depending on the type of action I am photographing.  (Forgive me if you already know this.)  I am discovering that the correct speed will give me sharpness in slower moving parts and blur in faster moving parts like the wing tips.

As I came home to process these shots,  I started looking at the bird's details and began to notice how sharp the beak is.

I noticed that he looked a little like a serious eagle in the face.  I also noticed how sharp and long his talons (not shown) were.  I knew this bird was defending his territory and protecting his female (one of many), who was feeding the young.

She was also upset about my presence but not as aggressive as he.  The experience of processing these images gave me pause about the circumstances.  I was more gentle in my approach after that.
