15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Takeoff at Sunset

There is a portion of the Sacramento Natural Wildlife Refuge where you're allowed to get out of the car and walk across a dock. Next to the dock was a tree with a Red-winged Blackbird on every branch. As I walked over to the tree to get a closer look they all took off at once into the sunset.
