Tropical Kingbird Tyrannus melancholicus

            Bird? Check! One thin perch? Check! Amorphous green background? Check!

There they are -  the rules to successful bird photography!

Actually, I like it if the background is a bit more complicated. When the subject emerges from a complex lattice of representative habitat, that is when I am really happy. In this case the kingbird wanted to sit out in a cow pasture so this is the result I got, pleasing but not very unique.
