Eastern Towhee, captured yesterday morning doing a whisper-singing version of his signature song. He had been buried in the thicket, but cooperated, briefly, when he popped up on an open perch. I was experimenting with a new lens combo: having demonstrated to myself that the new 80-400 plus 1.7 TC produced less than stellar results, I went for a walk with the 80-400 plus 1.4. Better results than with the 1.7 pairing, and certainly easier to carry up a mountain (even this small one) than the 500f4 plus 1.4 with tripod. Perhaps you get what you pay for? C&C appreciated.
D7200, 80-400 VR + 1.4 TC @ 530mm; ISO 800, 1/1000s @ f/8 manual, HH. Audio. Cropped from horizontal.
Drink Your Teeea!
