Black Phoebe

Went to one of our local city parks in search of fall migrants Saturday morning. I stayed around a pond where I had photographed warblers & other migrants. While photographing some female painted buntings feeding on grasses along the pond's edge, this Black Phoebe emerged and perched on a snag about five feet from the banks. My ISO was slightly high as there was cloud cover & trees threw shade on grasses and small bushes.

Canon 7D, 300 mm lens w/1.4 TC, f4,ISO 500, 1/1250, Aperture Priority. Image taken while walking around and using tripod.

Comments welcome and appreciated.
