Vermilion Flycatcher on blooming Velvet Mesquite
Pyrocephalus rubinus
Catalina, Pinal County, Arizona, United States

Besides the raised wings, I like this shot because you can see the red feathers under the wing and along the leading edge of the wing that you never see in life.

Mark IV, 500/f4 + 1.4,1/640 sec;  f/5.6; ISO 500, 580 EXII with Better Beamer at -1, gitzo & wimberely. PP in CS6.  Vocalization used.

Thanks for looking.

It's a real beauty. Importantly, to me, is that you nailed a really nice catchlight on a bird with a dark eyestripe.

Great pose and nice job on the lighting!   Might be even better if the bird were not so close to center.
