Finally something decent from this species for my files!! This one landed unexpectedly right there on the sumac branch close to me - I needed to back up a bit to loosen the composition all the while hoping it stayed put. It did. Now to get one in breeding plumage in the future....
Canon R6 + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/400s., f/5.6, ISO 6400, natural light, FF, Topaz NR, a few extraneous twigs removed from the edges.
