I was out with my camera early this morning, when the ground fog still hung over the cattails in the marsh. The red-winged blackbirds were active and I managed to get this shot. It’s almost a silhouette, yet it retains some surface detail. I love the bird’s open mouth as he utters a loud cry. The elements all seem to work together to create an atmosphere of early morning mystery.

It sure looks like a cold morning. Wonder if he calling for some to come to him or to keep others away?
Almost silhouette like…..nice and mysterious
Thanks. That’s how it felt when I took it too.
