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.

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

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 :D

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