Western Kingbird, San Antonio NM, April 15, 2010
Darn those pesky photographers
I managed to annoy this Western Kingbird and a Say's Phoebe yesterday morning. They were out hunting up a few insects for breakfast and had to keep hop-scotching their way down the fence-line to keep a comfortable distance between us. It was more fun for me than for them I'm sure.

More Toward Realism than Fantasy
I've always been drawn more toward realism than fantasy, because it seems to me that realism is endlessly interesting and finally indeterminable. Realism is a species of fantasy that's much more integrated and hard-core than fantasy itself, but if you are ready to come to grips with the inevitable slipperiness of most available facts, you come to recognize that realism is not a direct approach to the truth so much as it is the most concentrated form of fantasy.
