Western Kingbird – A Consolation Prize

Western Kingbird – A Consolation Prize



There are times when I go out to photograph a specific species but come home with images of birds I didn’t expect to see.

Yesterday Burrowing Owls with chicks were my target species but I wasn’t able to get as close as I would have liked though I did get images of this lovely Western Kingbird (Tyrannus verticalis) that Ron spotted along the dirt road we were on. A little bit of Serendipity!

I’ll try for the owls again later but I am quite happy with this “consolation prize”.
