Over the shoulder

Bajadreamer

While I certainly enjoy traveling to exotic places to photograph exotic birds (at least to me, exotic), I also enjoy photographing common birds at home. This is a Dark-eyed Junco (one of many variations of this bird), a very common West Coast bird in the USA. I like the over the shoulder look. Image is not quite as balanced as I would have liked but he would not move over like I asked him to.
