Birds were my subject tonight but not what I went after. I believe it’s called flowing with the punches. We had really nice light for a short while then the sun went behind the clouds. I chose this one because of the second bird in the background. I’m not sure what bird they are as I can’t locate them in my National Audubon bird book. If anyone knows please let me know.

Here's another shot: http://www.pbase.com/mstevens/image/43796302

Great shots. I especially like the second one.
My guess is that this is a female Yellow-headed Blackbird. It's not a bird we have in western Washington, but my guide shows it's summer range to be across the midwest, and it also says they nest and roost in marshes.
