Loggerhead Shrike
This is the same bird and perch as in the the adjacent pair of shots, but here they're photographed in the afternoon, the later-day sun preventing me from using the same nearby marsh as a background. The bluish in this frame is not the sky, it is a very distant mountainside with 15 miles of intervening air pollution. Though the background/setting in the other shots is more interesting, I liked the more alert pose here.
