Photo by Kort Duce A male red-winged blackbird takes flight among the cattails at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, a nearly silhouetted blackbird is captured in right profile, its wings spread wide and one foot still gripping a reed as it launches into flight. Cattail reeds surround the bird in the foreground, while the softly blurred background features cattails bathed in warm golden light. The beautiful contrast between the shaded foreground and the sunlit background adds depth and warmth to the scene. A missing feather in the bird's right wing creates a noticeable gap in its silhouette. A beautiful action photograph capturing a male red-winged blackbird at the moment of takeoff in the wetland habitat so vital to its survival.

We had one more peek at the pond before yesterday's rain, which likely knocked most of the leaves off 🤓
Bronze leaves overhanging the bank of a pond, with conifer branches on the right & cattails on the opposite bank.

Photo by Kort Duce A male red-winged blackbird fluffs its feathers among the cattails at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the blackbird fills the frame in a three-quarter right profile, its tail feathers cropped out as it perches on a bent cattail reed and flower. Its fluffy, rounded appearance gives it the look of a borb. A borb, also known as a birb or orb, is a bird with a delightfully round, orb-like shape. The blackbird’s signature red and yellow wing patches are visible in the upper left portion of the frame, standing out against the soft, blurred background of cattails in warm earth tones that evoke the transition from late summer into fall. A beautiful portrait of a male red-winged blackbird looking wonderfully borb-like in a wetland habitat so vital to the species' survival.

Photo by Kort Duce A yellow-headed blackbird flies through last year's cattails at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, the viewer looks through a dense stand of cattails along the edge ot a pond. In the left half of the frame, a yellow-headed blackbird flies toward the camera with its wings spread out. The foreground and background are filled with softly blurred, cream-to brown-colored cattails from the previous growing season, creating a natural frame around the bird. In the far background, patches of fresh green cattails and glimpses of pond water add subtle color and depth to the water add subtle color and depth to the scene. This beautiful action photograph captures a yellow-headed blackbird in flight within its natural wetland habitat, highlighting the importance of these marshes to the species' survival.

look, the trees
are turning
their own bodies
into pillars

of light,
are giving off the rich
fragrance of cinnamon
and fulfillment,

the long tapers
of cattails
are bursting and floating away over
the blue shoulders

of the ponds,
and every pond,
no matter what its
name is, is

An American Bittern portrait. These birds are often camouflaged among the cattails.

Any reason this sea creature has cattails growing out of his head?

Pretty color combos too.

Seeing the new Warrior Cats game has just spurred me to go back and play Cattails and Wildwood Story (Not the movie) again. God this game is so chill and fun. I love its music and ambience. I should doodle some characters from this sometime
