Aaah, the evil parasitic Cowbird :-). Nice shot Karl, lovely green bokeh. Too bad such a nice bird has some unpopular lifestyle...laying tons of eggs to someone else nest.

Thanks Mako.

Nice detailed image of this bird female cowbird, known as a brood parasite. Great feather details and exposure control. Looks sweet against that green BG.
Looks likeThat 5DmkIV is really preforming well. Thinking about getting one for this winter.
