Red-winged Blackbirds are among the most dominant and recognizable birds on the continent — bold, striking, and completely at ease in the spotlight. Those brilliant red and yellow shoulder patches against glossy black plumage are nature showing off.I caught this pair perched in the willow brush along the shore of Spring Lake in Alberta, taking in the sunset. On that particular day the sun was so overwhelming it demanded to be the whole story. I stripped everything else away and let it shine — a great blazing ball of light on raw, unfiltered beauty. Maybe a bit much? I don’t think so.One of our most popular images — also available as an art card and t-shirt.Printed on demand from the original acrylic painting on a premium poly-cotton canvas, hand-stretched over solid wood bars — built to last and made just for you.Print details: Available in 9×12 in. and 12×16 in.
