Thanks to Angie for spotting this guy. I had to shoot from the other side of the car past her. But this little guy held tight in the wind for both of us to get more than enough images.

One of those rare early morning gems that you just stumble upon. This guy sat tight for quite a good while.

Here are two versions of this little Phoebe (identified by Angie,justabird). Even though we were fairly close I probably would have liked more glass or more pixels, but I kinda liked the BG here as well. So I guess I'll leave it up to you to decide:More bird/glass/pixels or as is and Phoebe or phoebe 2.
