Another solo performance…

It has clouded up now, but this morning was the nicest morning of the week in Estabrook Park, at least so far. It was a little cooler, and the clouds were pretty patchy, so the light was respectable, but the wind had finally died down, so I could really hear some birds for a change.

Speaking of birds, they just keep making my job easier, in a way, but I sure hope it isn’t a permanent trend. Once again, only one bird put in a photo-worthy performance, and this time I didn’t even have to move to get the shot I wanted. Oh, I took a bunch, don’t you worry, but just about the only differences between them all are slightly different head angles, and I picked the one that looked nicest to me.

So, here it is, your bird of the day, a white-throated sparrow sitting pretty by the pond.

The forecast for tomorrow looks nice, so let’s all hope the critters in Estabrook feel up to putting on a little more of a show.
