I always carry another camera attached to my 100-400mm lens in my pickup no matter where I go and sometimes it pays off. Doing so allowed me to get this unexpected ten image series that I think is quite interesting.
Catch lights are highly desirable, to the point that many bird photographers simply delete any photo that doesn’t have them (a painful process, to be sure).
I rarely appreciate “accidental” birds in my photos competing with the primary subject. But there are exceptions and it happened twice with this landing American White Pelican.
