    Default Northern Parula

    Taken last May. Full frame...well chopped a little from the bottom and added a little to the top. Had to be close to minimum focal distance.
    Less than 15 ft any way. Audio used. Burned the whites on the wing bars a tad. Would have liked it better if the bird was facing the morning
    sun. It was facing the sun earlier, but it was lower on the branch and the body was partially occluded by the branch. I deemed this the better
    image. Straight size reduction, no sharpening applied.

    Nikon D500, 500mmF4VRII, TC-14EIII

    f8, 1/1250s, iso640

    Definitely the first image without the large amount of oof perch and more of the bird. Lovely bird with good detail.

    Though the perch is large and obtrusive, for me, the second winner is far stronger. The off-angled lighted really hurts the original post.

    Nice to see the bird in the open. Background is pretty nice as well. The light is nice.
