I never saw these guys before. According to "The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds," they are fairly common on the east coast. They are fairly small, under 6 inches total length. They are fly catchers and build a neat nest stuck to a light fixture using mud and Moss/grass. I'll get a photo of the nest some day, but here are a few of the bird. This time I was on the tripod fully supported. The Kenko 1.4 was attached. Full sun no flash. EXIF still entact.
Thanks James. I thought you'd like that one best it's the most contrasty:) But I do like the color on that one better too. It was only an hour earlier then the other two. The composition was very centered. I cropped slightly to offset that. Usually I focus then reframe and shoot. But I think sometimes I move to fast and before the focus is fully locked. This time I just left it and figured I would crop a little PP. It raining nicely here today and she looks very comfy in the nest. Perhaps they are done and she is on eggs already. Either way she was dry. I am sure I will get a couple of her in the nest one of these days.
