American Redstart

I think this is a female American Redstart, but it might be a first year male- not really sure. This bird was quite active as I was following it hoping I'd find a still, clear shot.

I cloned a small twig to the right of the bird that entered into the frame.

Geprag's Park, Hinesburg, Vermont.

Not baited, called, or setup.

D3s
500mm f/4 VR-II
TC-14E II
1/2000s @ f/8
ISO 1250
-1/3 EV
Spot Metered
Gitzo w/Wimberley II

I like the glancing light that picks up just the tips of some of the feathers, Charles. Sweet image.
