An immature Red-winged Blackbird greets the morning clinging to a cattail as yellow Marsh Marigolds lighten up the background to set off this really pretty bird. I particularly like the intricate buff/brown edging on the feathers. For many birds, the closer we get, the better they look. Sep. 8, 2014, Ridgefield NWR.
