20120924 088 SERIES - Rusty Blackbird.jpg

Ottawa West

Four images of a female Rusty Blackbird taking a bath. We found two males and this one female foraging for food on the beach along the Ottawa River. The female at one point decided it was time for a bath.

Top image: One of repeated dunkings and shake-ups.

Now some preening.

An other shake-up to get dried off.

All prettied up, ready to take on the boys.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor 500mm f/4D IF-ED AF-S II
1/1250s f/8.0 at 700.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
