He took off while I was watching him through the lens. I like the way this turned out. Doug and I spent a couple of hours observing our local marsh area down the street. Nice afternoon.
Jon, we have three type of black birds that have wing markings like this. The red wing as above, the tri-color and then there is one they are calling California bi-color. I can't remember the color bars for sure. white/yellow/red comes to mind and then maybe yellow and red? Not sure. I'll have to look it up.
