Las hembras, en general, son difÃciles de ver, a ésta la pudimos fotografiar porque necesitaba evacuar. Es un momento crÃtico para ellos y a nosotros nos facilita captarla. Imagen conseguida en los Charcos del Rio Grande. Quesa (Valencia) España

This female red-winged blackbird landed on a bush near the trail, right next to where I was standing. She then picked at the growth on this bush, and let me take pictures of her visit. How kind of her!
Taken in the same session as my in flight male. Thanks so much everyone for your kind comments on that one. This female is ovipositing her eggs in the pond to ensure the next generation continues, just like dragonflies have done for around 300 million years....
PS Excuse the lack of commenting but we have the grandkids here this weekend. I hope to be back to normal service soon!
The female of this species certainly dosn’t shout look at me like her male counterpart and for that reason very few photos of this large duck seem to be uploaded to the pages of Flickr. This particular example was photographed on a rather blustery wet day on a recent visit to the RSPB nature reserve at Old Moor.
This female Blackbird and her partner had a very difficult breading season. I first spotted her taking nesting material into a shrub last year, neither she or her partner allowed me to photograph them as they were just to quick flying in or out!
As the weeks passed it was obvious that they had young with both the male and female bringing insects and worms to the nest, then within a few days of the young fledging the nest was predated by magpies.
Within 48hrs this determined blackbird was building a new nest in a thick coniferous tree near to the house it only took her three or four days before she was finished and sitting again the male was always around, after a couple of weeks they had some more young with both parents being very attentive then one morning on the lawn I found a load of black feathers including three tail feathers I feared he had been taken by a sparrow hawk or one of the local cats. It later turned out that it was him that had been attacked but good news he survived but was looking very much the worse for wear he carried on his duties with out hesitation and finally they had four fledglings. Over the coming days I would see both parents with either one or more of the fledglings this went on for a few weeks before they disappeared.
Sadly this year blackbirds have just not visited the garden to much of a degree, although I don’t miss the persistent alarm call that they give out.
Female American Redstart. Usually Redstarts are hard to photograph because they are so active, but this beauty was very cooperative.

Female Seaside Dragonlet at Bombay Hook NWR

Seaside Dragonlet is one of the many very interesting and creative names given to dragonflies and damselflies,
