Another fine shot Steven.

Very dramatic Allen. Great get.
Sitting on the fence. A male Australian King Parrot in West Gippsland, Victoria. KP and 55-300 PLM at 300. Handy combination: 3200 ISO comes up pretty well with the KP, and the PLM can provide good resolution and pleasant bokeh.
Incidentally, I am finding 4:3 crops often work well for bird portraits - allows for more negative space in front of the bird than the native 3:2 ratio does.
