Posing

My favorite starlings seem to be gone from the park, but there was a whole tree full of sparrows who I could hear but couldn’t see. Occasionally a few of them came down to look for food.

I was having front-focusing problems with this lens, especially when used with a teleconverter, so recently had it calibrated. This was taken with the lens and TC in DX format. Unfortunately the files were fairly small since the camera tech had changed my settings to .jpg only.

Nice close-in shot. Great feather detail and love the catch-light in its eye.
