Female Red Crossbill

[Roy Priest]

While out photographing Bluebirds I came upon a pair of Red Crossbills gravelling on the road. The female ended up on this perch.

Great find, Roy. Excellent capture showing the crossed bill clearly. Super pose, perch, and BG.

The thumbnail doesn't do this justice Roy.
Great light, killer diagonal perch and perfect HA.
Excellent IQ.
Well done,
Gail

[Geoff Newhouse]

Great shot...agree with Gail, the thumbnail look pretty boring but after clicking it is a very nice image. Super sharp, great background and perch.

Super bird, lovely details and overall setting. I'm really enjoying the perch, the BG and your overall comp, although going vertical may be an option worth exploring. Nicely done Roy.
