Another RWBB, but at least with an interesting perch.
Not a bird around here that is interesting.
BUT! I have heard about some green heron chicks in a local park, and will try to find them later today.
Can't wait til fall migration starts!

Interesting perch indeed - I like the twisting part.

I'd trade summer birds around Phoenix for summer birds around San Francisco any day!

Yeah, the grass is always greener.....

I really like the composition. I still think that head of the bird could be a bit sharper. I usually try to get that focus point right on the eye. When this camera gets it right it's pretty amazing the detail you can capture. :toast:
