Yes, this is the same Junco from yesterday. (I don't get out much.) As today was my day off, however, I was able to spend a good deal more time enjoying these guys. This one and another hung out with me while I was doing a bit of yard work, chirping happily the entire time. Love that!
this is amazing! I can't stop looking at it. so many interesting elements here: the one spread, translucent wing; the abstract-y shapes in the background; how he's grasping that pole. totally ridonkulous!!
What a terrific posture to catch him in, makes for such a nice composition. And those great shapes in the background -- are they tree leaves? shadows? some fancy processing? Whatever, it's another favorite.
