One of my favorite photos of the species and I didn’t even know I had it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last night I stumbled across this older photo of a male Yellow-headed Blackbird displaying at Bear River MBR that I didn’t even know existed. It had been hiding in my files for years after apparently escaping my attention when I originally took it way back in May of 2009.<\/p>\n

I won’t list all the things I like about the image but if I did the list would be a long one. If I had to pick a nit it would be that there isn’t a lot of detail in some of the blacks but no one’s forcing me to pick one so I won’t…<\/p>\n

Some might think it’s the ‘wrong’ time of year to post a singing\/displaying songbird but I was excited enough to find this photo I decided to post it anyway. I’m not finding these hidden gems as often as I used to.<\/p>\n

Note: This seems like a good time to clear up an apparent misconception amongst some of my readers. When I post an image that I call an “older photo” that doesn’t mean that I’ve posted it to my blog before and I’m posting it again as a rerun. It only means that the photo is more than one year old so it’s what I call an “older photo”. When I post a photo for a second time, which I don’t do very often, I always try to remember to say in my blog text that I’ve posted it previously.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

So, this image is new to my blog.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
