These photos are the epitome of the bird photography style known as “bird on a stick”. But at least it’s a natural stick and he did “salute” me to make up for it.
I’ve documented a relatively insignificant but interesting and even amusing event in the life of a bird and I even managed to get a shot that I often attempt but rarely get with this species.
It’s been weeks since I’ve been able to go shooting when we’ve had decent light and then yesterday afternoon the sun miraculously came out for a few hours and within seconds I got a mated pair of “lifers”. Go figure.
