Say's Phoebe

The Phoebe was sitting on the railing of the flight deck at Bosque del Apache and I was able to get fairly close.  Not crazy about the perch, but I do like the background.

Canon 7d Mark II
Sigma 150-600 at 484 mm

ISO 800

Thanks for looking.   Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Yes, the background color is very complimentary to the bird.  I kinda miss the feet though but a nice capture non the less.

Excellent detailand that is a lovely background, Allen.  The missing feet are more of an issue for me than the perch, but it's a cool image of this bird.

Real good job on the color, detail.  The lighting is quite pleasing.  I think the perch is dark enough to keep it from being distracting.
