Red-winged Blackbird female

Usually, I never see female Red-winged Blackbirds up close, but this beautiful lady was at one of the Calgary Zoo ponds on May 17th, and I managed to catch her running about on the rocks.

Photographers might be amused by this short video created by The Camera Store. Lol, it kind of reminds me of how I feel with my little point-and-shoot (sound turned off completely so as not to be intrusive to others, ha), surrounded by people with their noisy cameras and massive lens set on "burst"! I can turn off the sound on my camera - is it possible to do so on an DSLR? I've been curious about this for ages : ) I saw this video on my son, Steven's, YouTube page.
