Excellent shot. I like the posture of this mighty blackbird.

Thanks francois.  This seems to be a favorite pose of the males.

He looks really intimidating. Real macho.
Good catch!

Eric, I love your description.  In the spring, these red-wings are super active.  I have seen pairs of males involved in aerial combat.  I would love an image of them tussling in flight.
