A great woody nest right on the side of the road at Viera wetlands. The pair was seen last week building a nest inside this cavity. I would imagine in a few weeks or so this will be a perfect photo op.

Nice shot Michael great clarity and eye contact but i think a little to much tree is showing and could come in on the right side a little more, love the reeds,nicely done.

It looks like it already is a nice photo op. Sharpness and exposure are perfect. I agree about the need to recrop to put more emphasis on the bird and the nest cavity. Perhaps a vertical crop.

w/o bb means without a Better Beamer flash extender. You are right about the -1 meaning -1EV flash exposure compensation

Great capture! I'm yet to see one of them! Hopefully one day! my vote on a vertical crop! Thanks for sharing!
