Mother & Daughter

Uploaded: August 28, 2017 | Entered: August 28, 2017 13:48:08

Description

These Eastern Kingbirds showed up in our yard a couple of days ago, and seem to be hanging around, much to the frustration of our Mockingbirds, because they think they own our yard! The mother kept gathering food and feeding the young one. Hoping to capture that action too, but so far, I have missed it. Shot through the window with Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 300 mm L f2.8 lens with 2X, (600 mm total) on tripod. Settings f6.3, 1/500, ISO 400.
