Much beauty in the shades of gray on this rough and ready bird. I wouldn't change a thing! devil

Nice pose and habitat, Jim. The image seems rather noise to my eye, which seems odd for iso 500 these days, but I'm not familiar with the K5II. Excellent detail in the bird.

Nice head turn this one gave you Jim. I do wish the twig wasn't intersecting so close ot the head, so that was a bit unfortunate. However, the image still works fine. Nice job!
