Cape Rock Thrush

This bird was perched on some industrial equipment as at roadside rest, so I went with a close-cropped headshot to keep ugly-ass metal bars out of the frame. I shot down on this subject by climbing onto a stone wall, the super pale background resulting from driveway pavers below/behind the bird.
