Orange crown
Apr 19, 2022 23:34:50 #
Migration season is in full swing. Yesterday’s survey of bird life in Fairview Park in Costa Mesa found several migrants of note, but I was lucky to catch a resident warbler blending in with the many mustard plants. This Orange-crowned Warbler even shows it’s orange crown, which is usually hard to see. I continue to use a Nikon D500 and Nikkor 200-500mm telezoom set for spot focus and BBF. Hope you like the picture.

I really like it!
Thanks, Ret CPO. Much appreciated. Obviously the photo is not Straight out of Camera, but after cropping it, I didn't have to do a lot. That white background was a very light gray, which I brightened to make it white, and I didn't have to remove a lot of distractions from my crop. I was very happy that I captured the orange crown and some typical action. Thanks again, and have a great week. jak
