With Gina's sister visiting from Bournemouth, UK we decided to spend the night at Madera Kubo B&B, Madera Canyon, AZ at 5000". It was delightful, and enjoyed the scent of a wood burning stove all night. This morning I sat outside with my coffee, and woolies hoping for a few birds to drop in for company. Lucky me, First came the White-breasted Nuthatch, flighty as usual, then the Bridled Titmouse, even flightier, along with the Acorn Woodpecker and one of Nonda's squirrels. Got shots of them all, and then, Mr Yellow Eye turned up, even got one with perfect HA, but mouth open and not sharp against the dark background. It was early morning in the shade with occassional rays of sunshine coming through the leaves and I need flash to help me.
With the long low shape I thought a Pano would look best???

Wonderful bird and nice BKGR. I would prefer something in between for brightness. The killer is that ray of sunshine...
