I do not know what kind of bird this is. The wind was blowing pretty strongly and it was holding on for dear life on a branch, when I tried to take the picture, he flew off and I was left with a partial pic of him in flight. Then he landed on this pipe that was in the ground to help support a little tree. That is a pick up truck on the other side of him.
Thank you for all your comments on the water splash photo and any comments you make on this one. I appreciate them and any suggestions for taking better photos.
I will be a little behind on viewing everyone's photos, will be trying to catch up, have not felt quite up to par the last couple of days.
