Photos | Perched in Solitude

A solitary blackbird captures a moment of serenity as it balances atop a slender branch against the clear sky at Palo Corona Regional Park.
Full Description:
On a tranquil afternoon in April 2025, this striking blackbird, potentially a distant member of the bee-eater family, found its perch high above Palo Corona Regional Park. Captured mid-flight, the bird's silhouette is etched against the expansive blue, creating a scene of peaceful isolation. The delicate branch that supports it appears as if drawn by an artist's hand, adding to the image's serene allure.
