Alder Flycatcher

[Bill Dix]

One more songbird. My several trips to Magee Marsh have been to photograph migrating spring warblers, but occasionally something else of interest pops up. The Willow Flycatcher is often seen in fields not far from where I live, but its look-alike cousin the Alder Flycatcher is one we see much less often. (Although one has been seen in one of our local grasslands recently.) This was captured at Magee Marsh in May of 2016.

D7200, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 1250, 1/1000s @ f/7.1 master.

Like the crooked perch and the composition works well here. Great background.

That's a good shot Bill, lovely light, background and details.
