Neighborhood Mascot

I am frequently caught off guard without my camera when this guy (or gal) is landing on some roof top or telephone pole in Bernal Heights. On Friday, she, or one who looks very similar, landed on a the corner of a roof on Anderson Street. It would have been a perfect shot for a transfer; a brilliant blue sky and a clear, close shot with no obstructions. I try not to lament when this happens, but to take the opportunity to watch the bird, happy that this series has given me a chance to direct my sights upward.
