More "redbud" photos with R5 & RF 800 f11.
In PL4, I noticed that a "lens sharpness" of +2 seemed to be a bit too much for many photos, so I reduced it to +1 for the "redbud" photos I'm showing.
Still using cropping to taste and deep prime output, but almost no other alterations on these.


female House Finch:

male House Finch:

This is one that really resonates with me.
Normally I don't try to take photos of birds on the other side of a tree, but an opening through the redbud was in the right spot for this.

Carolina Chickadee (yes, again later on the same spot they like to eat seeds on):

Yesterday a Connecticut Warbler was singing at a local park, one that would potentially be able to provide good looks, of this otherwise very elusive warbler. I was able to watch him for about an hour and get a few decent shots.

Just getting caught up - these are from last weekends hike. Not much going on with the osprey, mostly they are still sitting on nests and sunning themselves on nearby roosts. Some little fellows were active around the marsh though, but don't hold me to the ID. Aside from the bluebird, I am guessing based on Merlin and Seek apps. Images cropped and denoised with DeepPrime

You are not the only one to have problems in identifying the Northern Parula - beautiful little bird.

Very nice series, Jeremy. I especially like the first picture.
