Catbird

Gallery: AvianPosted September 6, 201377 views4 comments

Grab shot from one of the "woodsy" areas of the Brig. Wish I had stopped down some more, but this bird didn't give me much time, before heading back into cover where I usually see them. I like that this image shows the rusty underparts of the catbird, but not keen on the part of the branch that appears to be impaling it!

50D, 500mm w/1.4, ISO 400, 1/200, F13
LARGER version also provided...and shows beautiful feather detail!
THANK YOU to those who take time to look, comment/critique! Sharon

Nice pose, except for the impaling. It may just be me, but I would like to see the plumage just a bit darker. Thanks for sharing.

Nice detail in this close up Sharon. I didn't notice the upright portion of the stump until I read your intro. Simple to take out before printing if you're not opposed to PS work.

Nice species and shot, even if you wished for some things to be different - first timer for me ! Cheers, Hans
