I was fortunate to find 3 or 4 males of this specie in one location in the Cascade Mountains of Washington. The light was very poor making it a challenge to capture these fast moving little birds. I was pleased with the way the 7D2 handled it at ISO 1600, sometimes with shutter speeds at 1/90 sec.

Please click on image for uncompressed view, thanks.

Canon 7D2, 500mm, ISO 1600, f/5.6, 1/250 sec, manual exposure, tripod.

Great shot Bob. Yours turned out better than mine. Tough shooting in that dungeon with no light. We may have to buy flashes...

Amazing shot Bob. I love the perch settings. Amazing background. Pretty impressive to pull out that much detail in such challenging conditions.
I know how dark it gets in these woods.
