Same bird as yesterday, just a bit closer and from a slightly different angle.

Canon 600mm f/4 IS II + 1.4x III on EOS R5
1/3200 at f/8, ISO 1000
Processed in PR CC, NR in Topaz, nothing clones or added
This is a heavy crop, but I think it stood up pretty well. Thin white line on top beak is real (i.e. on the bird); it's not a sharpening halo.
