Normally I don't go out in the rain... the light's poor, it's cold, wet and miserable. But once in a while an opportunity comes along that I have to take, rain or shine. Today was one such occasion... a yellow-headed blackbird was spotted at Lake Sammammish state park. Now, I would much rather shoot this little guy in nice light, but given that I hadn't seen one of these on this side of the mountains for 10 years, and didn't get a decent shot of that one, I wasn't about to let this one get away. These "vagrant" birds often appear, stay for a few days, and vanish as quickly as they came, so I didn't want to miss out on this one. If the damned rain ever stops, and he's still around and I can get him in some sunny weather, I will, but if not, at least I have these!

Good shots. You know how it is around here, sometimes you get better lighting when it is overcast.

Thanks. The light wasn't too bad, but the dripping down the back of my neck was no fun...
Great Shots, Rocky - but I'm a little disappointed that you don't enjoy the rain....

Thanks, Terry! Normally I don't mind so much, but when it just never stops, it gets really depressing...
