I wish the metal railing had been a natural perch, but the bird landed in good light on this spot - a railing around a local pond, and I felt the image was still OK to post. I might post a different shot of the same bird amongst leaves another time.
D7000, 300 f/4 AF-S, 1.7TC. ISO800, 1/1000, f/6.7, aperture priority, pattern metering,
Slight crop, minor adjustments in LR.
