Limited Edition /200

This image of a Red-winged Blackbird titled Leucistic Flight, was captured in open marshland as soft light and neutral tones allowed an unusual and striking subject to stand apart.

Caught midair, wings fully extended, the bird reveals a rare leucistic variation — its typical dark form broken by pale, mottled plumage that softens and reshapes its identity. The familiar red shoulder flashes vividly against this altered canvas, while its open bill suggests a call carried across the wetlands. Suspended in motion, the moment feels both energetic and rare, a fleeting glimpse of something seldom seen.

This shot required quick reflexes and readiness. The bird launched without warning, and tracking it through flight while maintaining sharp focus and composition was a challenge. Capturing the full wing extension, balanced detail, and the defining markings of both species and variation demanded precise timing within a fraction of a second.
