Red-winged blackbird in flight

This blackbird’s flight from earlier this morning was an interesting one. He crouched low on the branch for a few seconds, longer than I was expecting, before it launched. When he did, there were a couple of quick wing beats before diving out of sight into the brambles.

Absolutely beautiful shot‼️ Hello Christopher I am an artist and love this shot. I was wondering if you would consider granting me permission to paint this blackbird. I would love to use it as a reference for a painting. I am a self taught artist, and if it worked out I may exhibit or enter in a competition. I plan on a small painting 11×14. I would also paint a large piece as well. I would need your permission to proceed. Thanks for your consideration, Yvonne Hartling.

Warmest regards,
Chris
