Male Red Winged Blackbird Sketch

I have posted these old sketches of mine by popular request.

I wish to thank you all for your interest and encouragement on my work.

 

My wife and I saw a huge flock of these Red Winged Blackbirds at Presquile Provincial Park Ontario in October of 1977. This was my first sighting of these handsome birds. The red shoulders are very vivid and the bird reminds me of a large butterfly when landing with wings outstretched.

I made this sketch shortly after returning home.
