Nikon D500,  500mm f/5.6 VR,  ISO 800,  f/5.6,  1/160's

Placed a western cedar branch over my pond and waited for the birds to land on it.  Some days nothing shows up, and other days it is like a big party.

Always special when the birds co-operate! Excellent image, Tim.

Stunning shot, the head turn is perfect. Great background and wonderful perch. I like the soft light and the placement of the bird in the frame.

I want to go to your party!! How nice to have so many birds come to you. Beautiful female, very much like our female Scarlet Tanager. Glad to see the old D500 an 500pf in use again too. I still have mine. :) Gorgeous shot.
