As I mentioned, one of my goals for this trip to North Dakota, was to get a good shot of a Yellow-headed Blackbird. I did not know that when I left home. I only discovered it after seeing the first YHBB of the trip and realizing that, despite several attempts in the past, I still did not have a good image of a YHBB. North Dakota was obliging!

I now have my fill of YHBB (for now…YHBB is like Chinese…you are hungry again soon 🙂 )

And for the video fans in the house, here is a snippet.
