Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy..

            Yellow-headed Blackbird

This handsome individual did not shy away from strutting his stuff and was utterly oblivious to my presence while I took his pictures from the distance with my old trusty telephoto lens.

The early morning sun, which had been hidden behind a thin layer of stray cloud finally shone through, painting strips of warm golden rays on the wetland.  And as if on cue, the Blackbird pleasantly struct a refreshing pose, cleared his throat and performed a final encore before flying off.
