2206_1420 Say's Phoebe
After 4 bird shots with interesting behaviour and/or action, this one is definitely second tier. But it's my first decent Say's Phoebe shot, and my first from Grasslands National Park - we don't see them often in my area. I was able to walk right up to this bird as it perched on top of a collapsing old ranch building on the former Larson holdings (Walt Larson was the first local rancher to agree to sell when Parks Canada began acquiring land for the new park in the 1980s, always on a willing buyer, willing seller basis).
That's nothing but sky in the background, btw. I promised to end this series of "birds on blue" with a water background, and that's coming right up, probably later today, a rare double upload day for me.
