This guy was on the perch when I was driving, so I stopped for some photos. I actually got just one, and it flew away. Then a Fork-tailed Flycatcher perched (see my previous post).

Geez, I'm never that lucky. Two great birds on the same perch while you are within camera range. Both are great images. Sometimes you just get lucky and the birds cooperate.

Cracking bird Jefferson. Personally I always prefer some background to give a sense of "where" - but that's just me. Iknow its not always possible with a grabbed shot. Fine image whatever.

Very well done "exotic, for me" blackbird! The soft BG is very pleasing. I love the way he is clawing to the perch. Nice effect
