Sayornis saya Usually I would not post 9 photos of the same bird but I just Could Not decide which to  delete, as I love them all.   That must sound like I'm pretty impressed with myself, I know.  However, this was one of those lucky times when conditions were just right for snapping a pretty good shot...the light was over my shoulder, the bird was unusually cooperative (I believe we Bonded, in a way), the background was compatible and I had a lot of time to get several shots before the bird bolted.  So thank you for your patience as I wallow in the pleasure of my own work.  : -)
