People aren’t the only ones who enjoy a crisp Fall morning! I caught this gorgeous Red-Winged Blackbird greeting the sunrise this Saturday! Fun fact! When breeding season ends, they completely change their social behavior. They gather in massive, noisy flocks numbering in the hundreds of thousands or even millions, often mixing with starlings and grackles. 📸: Nikon D850 🔭: Nikon 500mm f/5.6 PF ⚙️: 500mm | f/5.6 | 1/500s | ISO 1100 📍: Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Colorado 📅: October 3, 2026 #birdsofinstagram #birding #redwingedblackbird #wildlifephotography #shotonnikon
