Blackbird Sunset

Once again I'm toying with the colors of the sunset to evoke an emotional response. Comments welcome. Even the critical. I'm a big girl, I can handle it.

The refuge has an annual congregation of blackbirds: Yellow-Headed, Red Winged, Tri-color(?), and Brewer's. They are mostly Red wings and they fly in huge flocks of about 200-10,000 birds.

Thanks Julie. Thanks Marian. Our sunsets can be beautiful during the late Fall, but finding a sunset worth capturing during the Winter is (with camera in tow) difficult when your inland. That's why I'm playing with the colors. Fall provides the rich deep reds and golds, but I haven't been able to capture a descent shot yet.
