Red-winged Black Bird

[K9Kirk]

This guy flew up and landed about 10 m in front of me today, lucky me. The ISO was a little higher than I like, rendering it a little noisy, but not the worst pic to look at. It's actually my best RWBB pic to date.

f/6.3, 1/1600 sec, ISO-1600, - 0.3 step, 600 mm.

Thanks, Jeff, appreciate it. I forget, do you have them over there?

Very cool shot...looks like he's screaming "PUT THAT CAMERA DOWN!"

That's a wonderful shot, all things considered. Black is almost as difficult as white to get.

Thanks, Warhorse. You're right, it was a Karen RWBB, wouldn't shut up.

Thanks , Jeff, it sure can be. The problem with black birds on a bright, sunny day is anything in the heavy, dark shadows shows little to no detail.
