They are not as creepy as spiders or a black cats, but there is something eerie and unsettling about the pale yellow eyes of Rusty Blackbirds (Euphagus carolinus), like this one that I spotted last Friday at Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The bird was in a really distant tree, so the image is not super sharp, but I really like the way I was able to create a mood in the shot and the subdued colors throughout the shot really help that eye to pop.
Happy Halloween!

I definitely would consider a Rusty Blackbird more treat than trick. Despite those eyes.
It really does have striking eyes and I think the sombre hues of this portrait do make it suitably atmospheric for this time of year.
Beautiful bird. Nice capture!
Unbelievable. 👏
Thanks. I don’t see this bird species very often, so I am always happy whenever I manage to photograph one.
