Unexpected Black Phoebe

Last week I was out trying to photograph some mourning dove, when an unexpected visitor landed on a white fence post in front of me, just long enough to prene for a second and then take off. This little Phoebe seems to be in a hurry to get somewhere. At least he have me a few quick shots.

Excellent shots with beautiful bokeh.

Nice capture of the wings outspread.

Great shots of what must be a hyper, quick little target. Nice!

Sindri, gooble, village idiot.......Thanks guys......your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

BEautiful shots of this quirky little bird, great timing, very nice comps, poses and b/g's; I especially love the last one!

Wow Mike, very nice catch. Never seen one of these before.

Cool looking bird and great series Mike.

Very nice shots, the last one is my favorite.

Number three is fantastic!! Perfectly caught moment. You can see the birds feet at full extension as if he's pushed off the wall. Great stuff

Marvelous series here Mike! What a joy viewing these. Exposure on the dark colors seems very good IMO.

downywp, Mitch, DonE, Chris, Anke, and Dennis......Thank you all for your compliments, and thank you for looking.
