Who's watching who?

A rare bird deep in a Costa Rican rainforest? No. During an early evening walk around a nearby pond I experimented with diminishing daylight as the sun dropped below the tree line. This female red-winged blackbird (very common here) graciously came close to see what I was up to. The limited light gave the photo a softness I don't get during mid-day sessions.
