This is one of those photos you have no right to expect. ƒ11 for DoF, 100 ISO for low noise, part of a long sequence of motion blurred images... which all seems for nothing, until you get the one. 1/50s on a small bird makes for lots of images ruined by motion blur.Then you get "the one" and it's all worth it.

And if I only got one of 40, the second I get the one I want, no one cares how many it took to get it.

It really is the one that matters. Shooting at that shutter speed, it is difficult to get a shot like that. Great patience. I don't see the Evening Grosbeak in this area. Love its colors.

A very striking image of a very interesting bird suddenly struck my eyes!
Good shot!
And even better shooting, considering how you got it!
Angky.

Very nice. They did not come by and visit Ottawa this year.
