The best light for photographing these is on the Southeast side of the pond. It is shade.

That side of the pond is guarded by a male Red-winged Blackbird. This particular male is extra feisty. He has never touched me but he has intimidated me by flying close to the back of my head. I have felt the wind from his wings. I have watched him with other people, unsuspecting, who walk around the pond on that side. From a distance it is funny to watch their reaction, but up close I don't find it funny.

I recognize his agitated "chirping" and finally when extremely defensive he emits a whistle. When I hear it, I know that an "attack" is eminent. He has intimidated me to the point that I have thought about murder, not what the rational me wants to do. I have actually avoided that area to avoid confrontation. Had I completely done that I would not have the images of the Blue Flag Iris. I have accommodated his aggressive behavior with defensive behavior of my own.

Beyond this effort I still have murder in my heart.
