There has been a single Evening Grosbeak this year, a female, and I've photographed it on a few occasions this winter as it reliably frequents a feeder...a feeder that no other bird photographer thinks of visiting so I have her to myself lol! On this occasion it stopped on a bare maple branch and began picking and eating the dry seed pods. It was pretty neat to observe and photograph it in a more "natural" behaviour.
Canon R6 + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/400s., f/5.6, ISO 3200, natural light, handheld, FF, a few imperfections in the BG taken care of in post (clone, spot removal), and usual eye work.
