    Black-crested Titmouse

    Workshop, South Texas

    D3, 500, ISO 1250, f6.3, 1/4000.

    The songbirds-in-flight part of our workshops was such a blast, with everyone getting some great keepers.
    This is not the sharpest image in my files, but one I'm keeping!

    Alan- From a behaviour point of view I would be interested to know the context of what we are seeing here. The bird looks to me as if it is reacting to something at the point of exposure.

    Stunning image BTW for the reasons given above.
