p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Eastern Kingbird vs. Osprey


Happy 4th weekend everyone! The cats woke me up at 05:22 this morning compelling me to take a visit to the local pond. It was terrible light and I was routinely shooting at 12800+ in the early morning light for a Tv of 1/2000 of the Ospreys against the canopied background. While I was dialed in with exposure to capture a green heron flying by against the sky, I caught this action out of the corner of my eye. Silly me, I thought I was in Auto ISO when I spied the Eastern Kingbird harassing the Osprey. Did the Osprey grab the Kingbird's nest? Anyhow, though underexposed by a stop or so, they cleaned up fairly well other than for some color noise.

Wow. All that and you managed to capture the kingbird's red crown (not often seen). That wouldn't be the bird's nest but just fine material to line its own. BTW (and you may know this), the kingbird is known for its serious chutzpah.

I'm not sure where you ended up on exposure settings but these look excellent!

Those are awesome. I never knew the Eastern Kingbird even had a crown to be seen even if by rare occasion! I really like the open comps you presented, these are pleasing to my eyes, thank those cats for getting you an early start
Excellent and a vote
