Hi-Tech Phoebe. Certainly not one of my typical images. I saw this Say's Phoebe perched on a metal fence post, decided to photograph it, and it launched at the instant I pressed the shutter. Those upright metal poles are a bit weird, I think, and they add a certain dream-like quality to the image.

It's breeding season for Great Blue Herons down here in southern Arizona, and they are extremely active.

Nice capture, Steven.

Here is a good example of a "reach limited situation" its not as sharp as I would like but the bird was halfway across the Wisconsin river so seeing conditions are an issue. Its a 100% crop with the 7dii and the 600ii. A higher res sensor or a tc may have given better results on this shot but a tc on that setup is a bit much for bif. I really like how gritty the bird looks with one inner eyelid closed.

Northern Pintail making a final course change prior to landing.

Beautiful shot of a good looking bird.
