Although good looking at any angle, it's from the back that the Bobolink really stands out. I was glad when it perched with that clearly visible, and with a good head turn to boot!
Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/200s., f/6.3, ISO 800, natural light, handheld from inside the car used as a blind (lens resting on window opening), small crop for comp, usual eye work (darken pupil, slightly dodge iris).
