Amazingly close, what was the focal length, was it on cropped sensor?

Steven that is a gem, didn't notice the fly initially. Reminds me of my parrot when I drop one of his fluffers and it's floating down towards his head! What's you geographic location again? Arizona? Seems like you have a great sampling of birds.

I live in the Tucson area. It's great for viewing all sorts of wildlife including birds. We have the advantage of being directly underneath a major north-south flyway for migrating birds and we also see many seasonal residents. There are about 450 species that show up in our area. Part of it is the surprisingly diverse habitat. Most people think of desert when they think of Tucson, and that's true. But, we also have mountains with habitats that change with elevation and a few riparian areas. Our proximity to the Gulf of California also means that we see birds that are commuting to and from that area. It's not usual to see an Osprey here, right in the middle of the desert!

Well Steven a visit to the area might be called for. What's the best time of the year. I was there once long ago searching for a bird and found ONE. Trailered it home - a 1963 Ford Falcon convertible. The feathered type were not even in my mind at that time!

Couldn't find a shot so my 64 is substituted (Old Canon F1, film). It is a bird and it does fly.
