Only days before leaving FL, I was able to get my first shots of a Brown Thrasher. There were a pair of them flying down from a nearby branch looking for (what looked like) small insects. I later found out that they would go back to feed a youngster. Very tame birds, and they didn't seem bothered at all by my presence.
This is a stitched image of two separate captures. He got a bit too close and so I took an image for the body and quickly one for the tail. I guess I'd done enough of artie's reading where he employs this method and I was quick enough to try it myself.
On a side note: the move to ABQ was great and I'm finally settling in. The camera/lens hasn't been out of the bag yet, but I've already seen my fair share of new species :) Looking forward to the opportunities here!
As always, comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated!
