Varied Thrush
ISO 800, f/5.6, 1/200 sec, Canon 500mm IS lens, handheld braced on a window ledge. These birds are winter birds in our area, and are very reclusive and shy, usually staying in forests. This morning, there were six of them in our backyard feeding and drinking. I opened a low sliding window and shot some images when one of the birds landed very close to drink from an artificial small stream in our yard.
