This shot of the same Black Phoebe (after it started to fly off, then decided to just land back on another post) came out a lot better!

#Fotofails: I had a lot of trouble getting the camera to focus on this Black Phoebe and not the tree behind it, but that wasn’t the problem in this shot. I always think birds look weird when you can only see the backs of their heads.
The bird saw what you did.
A flock of #starlings moving back and forth between the ground and an electrical transmission tower (neither of which you can see here, but that’s what they were doing).
Heerman’s gull. They’re not as common here as western gulls, but I do see them occasionally. This one didn’t feel like trying to fly in the wind, which was blowing other seagulls sideways. And in some cases backward.
