Beautiful shot, Jim. Superb detail in the ovenbird-the first specimen I remember seeing posted here. I didn’t know they had that gorgeous little topknot. Well done.
Great look at the bird in its environment. IQ looks good, but I think you might have a touch of motion blur (only a touch, though). I don’t have any shots of these. Need to look down more!
