Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge

Sometimes powerful images come by luck. As I was pulling out of the trailhead and heading home, a flock of red-winged blackbirds flew over and landed in the field next to me. One bird on top of the only dead tree, which happened to be right below the break in the clouds. Giving me just enough time to grab my camera, which I thankfully had in my passenger seat, and take this photo from my car. Lucky.
