Lark Bunting

I think this is a male, although I think sometimes they are almost black.
If you know, please confirm!

ISO 500, f9, 1/1000

5D2@ 400mm

C&C appreciated!

Nice composition, Eirini. Not a bird I'm familiar with. I like the head turn and the dof you used.

Looks like a winter male Lark Bunting, when they come back to my part of the planet in the spring, the males are black with white wing patches. Very nice setting and comp, looks pretty sharp in this small image.

Nice composition and a fairly sharp image at the size posted. I would have been tempted to use a larger aperture to diffuse the OOF background a tad more, but a solid image nonetheless. :toast:
