Generally, when trying to photograph a specific species of bird, the photographer wants to get an image of a male in full breeding plumage. These are usually the most colorful members of the species. This picture is totally different. It is a female Baltimore Oriole, certainly a bird with some beauty, but the primary thing that told me to push the shutter was the perch. Taken in Costa Rica. Very little processing; bird slightly brought up and BG brought slightly down.
Shot with a Canon R5, 600 mm lens. SS 1/200, ISO 1600, f/4.0.

More and more I tend to be drawn to “environmental” images of birds. This one is a beauty and a wall hanger! Love the soft background the 600mm helped give you.
