Eastern Phoebe

This morning I was got out to see the birds in the morning sun. It was a beautiful sunrise and I saw many wonderful things. I saw a pileated woodpecker, which landed in the tree directly above me at an angle so extreme it made a photo unrealistic (but I saw it). I saw a deer that jumped into the woods just as I got a shot of the grass where it had been (timing is everything). I saw many other birds, but only this little phoebe sat still long enough for a shot in the morning light.

I’ll try again later and see who else will sit still for me.
