Nice Profile. |

This pipit almost has a breast spot made of streaks
similar to a Song-sparrow. Sometimes you luck out- the setting sun lit
up this bird like a fill flash and the dark creek water behind the bird
made for excellent contrast. Plus the bird was real cooperative- if
only it was always this easy! |
