Ok - here is an image in much better lighting, later in the afternoon. The shutter speed was slow, but I was able to get off a sharp shot

Nikon D7100 300mm f4 + 1.7X TC HH
f/6.7
1/250s
ISO 1250

Full Frame, minor adjustments in LR5 and CS5

- Luke

I prefer this to the previous shot from this encounter. The berry and open bill might have been better in the other version, but the even light here makes all the difference.

Hi Luke, I also like the a lot better than the other one simply because of the light. Plus, you still have the berry in the beak to boot!

Much nicer light and definitely an improvement on the previous post.
