1\/4000, f\/6.3, ISO 500, Canon 7D, 500 f\/4 II, not baited, set up or called in<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This bird and its mate had been occupied by nest-building all morning a few days ago and since that process includes carrying mud to line the interior chamber of the nest I’m surprised the beak is clean this time.\u00a0 The background is mostly clean and featureless so I wasn’t even tempted to remove the twigs at lower right that were part of the perch this bird took off from.\u00a0 I like the position of the wings and feet and was happy to get some iridescence.<\/p>\n
