Eastern Phoebe: York County Maine, USA, August 2024 — There are some old posts, maybe originally rail-road ties, that the Phoebes like to sit on while hunting. I like to photograph them there, because the weathered wood adds to the composition, and highlights the subtle beauty of the Phoebe. And then there is the out of focus marsh background. All in all, makes for a pretty Phoebe picture. Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii VC VXD zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
