Catbird fledgling
Lens: 560mm APO triplet scope Camera: K5 
Posted By: wildman, 09-29-2016, 08:29 AM

Was out in the open field trying to get a shot at a Blue-wing warbler.
In the brush at the edge of the field was this little guy trying his best to act like a proper Catbird but it was a real struggle for the little guy.
Anyway through the 560mm I could see it was a good possible shot if a bit too far and dark, about 60-70 feet, but I pulled the trigger anyway.
Luckily I had my best glass on my best body and a RAW shot so I could do an extreme crop and still end up with something.

Great capture! You make that combo work well for you. Thanks for sharing.
Best.

Very nice. It's telling once you magnify, how often the birds are staring right back at you.
