Spotted this fellow tonight. Shot after sunset, on the dark side of the river..... 7D2 at ISO6400, 1/100h second, Tamron 150-600 at 600mm, handheld, from a canoe, a 1-1 crop, and in the middle of the city of Ottawa. Considering the poor conditions and camera settings, I am pleased that it came out as well as it did....

way to heavily cropped and shot with too high of an ISO in poor light, but it does show how territorial the red-winged blackbird is, and how it will attempt to drive away anything that gets too close to its nest....

Hi Don.
Wow, wow. I can't see any problems with this shot, the subject is so compelling that all else is lost to the subject. You are being your own worst critic. :)
Thanks for sharing.

Cheers, Graham.
