This nest is located not 30 feet from the kingbird's nest I posted earlier, and this one only six feet off the ground. Pretty cool spot within 15 minutes from home that I will keep a better watch on in the future - plus it is away from crowds. Anyhow, this nest is currently active with four young ones growing and staying hungry. Itès such a privilege to watch!
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/200s., f/7.1, ISO 1600, natural light, handheld, full-frame, some reflection clean-up in the eye, a couple of small bright spots on the BG removed.
Oh this is lovely Daniel! Techs and processing are great. Love the view of the tail - the yellow pops very nicely. Hope you get some sick shots of the chicks
This looks great. a very intimate and authentic (i.e. in-habitat) view of this slick little bird. Frame feels a bit bottom heavy to me with the bird and nest so low, but I'm sure you had a reason for it. Amazing you have two sweet nests in your yard!
What a crazy good opportunity you had with these 2 nests!
I love the intimate view and the tail in the BG.
I like your crop very much.
I did not notice the branch intersecting with the head until I read Krishna's post. So now that I do see it, I wish it was not there but not a big deal!
