Breeze day and near noon. The female RWBB posed so nicely I could not resist taking her portrait even with the strong light.

Your RWBB looks so "hawk-like" in this image. Nice exposure and I like the natural looking colors in this. Nice and sharp. Sharon

Very cool! I love the perch and the pose, and it looks to me like you handled the light exceptionally well.
