Eastern Kingbird
Hi all
It's been a very busy few months for me with little time for shooting, but I managed to get out a few weekends ago at the end of April in the Saginaw Bay area. This Kingbird was nice enough to pose for a few seconds before taking wing.

500mm+1.4x
f7.1, 1/400, I400, +1EC

So nice of him to pose so handsomely for you, Michael...love these birds but seldom have to chance to go looking for them.

Nicely done Mike. The exposure is right on and I love the catch light in the eye.

Good catch, have seen a couple around but they are always going somewhere. As has been said nice detail.

Nice catch. I think the background would also have made a nice shot at that dof.
