I try to discourage birds from posing for me, but some recognize me and figure that they have a better chance of being immortalized in my blog by striking a pose.  So in this instance I’m going to humor a few of them…

A male Brewer’s blackbird demonstrating his balancing stance.  (I could probably perform the same trick if I had a base like he has!)

A male American wigeon…

A Great Blue heron…

And finally, the biggest ham of all… a Black oystercatcher…
