Long-tailed Meadowlark (Loica Común)

[Ramon M. Casares]

Hi all, know is the turn of this lovely Long-tailed Meadowlark female, also taken during my last trip to Córdoba, on a very foggy day, three munutes later the rain started falling and we had to leave. No Andean Condors that day, but this female and her partner gave us a few nice images to leave with :)
Hop you like it.
C&C are welcome and apreciated!

Hi Ramon,

Excellent profile. Love the vegetation on the rocks and the red really adds to your subject.

[Dave Phillips]

quite beautiful....the detail is extremely lifelike at normal viewing distance

[Steve Canuel]

Soft yet sharp, I like the salmon-colored feathers and the little tuft of moss on the rock. A nice simple portrait that puts all the focus on the subject.

[Chris Kotze]

Beautiful colours and comp, great feather detail and well exposed

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Thanks for sharing the sunlit version. :) I like the soft light, details and perch. The sky in the BG seems to have a slight magenta cast.

Excellent feather detail, and I like how the tail follows the perch.
