I was hoping for a Scarlet Tanager before the Biggest Week in American Birding was over…and on the very last day, there were two pair working around the boardwalk for several hours…never as close as I might have liked, but still! The contrast of deep deep red and jet black is, I think, one of the most striking in the birdosphere. And yes, that lower left bird is indeed suspended in mid-air, in mid-swoop from one perch to another. It was a dark day, and these understory shots test the limits of any camera. I could really have used a flash! Note the ISO setting below.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 with 75-300mm zoom. 600mm equivalent. Shutter preferred. 1/640th @ ISO 6400 @ f6.7. Processed in Snapseed on my tablet.
