Yellow-headed Blackbird

I've had a good run of capturing singing songbirds recently, and this frame continued the trend. This guy sang with his entire body, his neck fluffing, his back arching, and his wings fluttering with each repetition of his jumbled warble. He was very protective of his perch and territory and spent much time chasing other males from the area. I should return and try for a flight shot not that I have a nice base of perched shots.
