It was one of my ambitions for this trip to capture one really satisfying image of a Yellow-headed Blackbird, I did not know that leaving home of course. The it was not until I got out here to North Dakota and saw YHBBs again that I realized that I have no good images, despite several tries in the past. So an ambition was born. Yesterday we pulled up beside a little pothole on our way to Chase Lake National Wildlife Refuge and there they were… Close to the road and in good light. Ambition realized! Canon SX40HS in program with – 1 /3EV exposure compensation. 1680mm equivalent. Processed in Lightroom for intensity, clarity, and sharpness.
