Feeding Time
Uploaded: May 13, 2019 | Entered: May 13, 2019 10:33:53
I was taking a photo through the window of this baby Mockingbird taking a bath, when the action changed in a moment, mother had arrived with lunch. I wished their eyes were open, but I guess this is typical behavior while feeding. Shot with Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 300 mm f2.8 L lens with 2X teleconverter, through the window, on a Gitzo tripod with gimbal head at manual mode set to f9, 1/800, and ISO 640 (auto).

Thank you, Nancy. I do too. They have really entertained me this spring. Now the Bluebirds are building their nest and so hopefully they will have young to entertain me as well. Glad you enjoyed. <>< #11766678Terry Korpela May 14, 2019
