I photographed this male Red-winged Blackbird at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.

It’s widely believed that the Red-winged Blackbird is North America’s most abundant land bird. Bird-counting data suggest that there are around a million bird flocks in North America. It is also among the world’s best-studied wild bird species.
How I Got The Photo:
This Bird was near the first section of the auto tour road when you enter this refuge.
I had my camera resting on a bean bag draped over the open window of my pickup.
