Hot starling

Taken in a neighbor’s yard. It has cooled down a bit this week, only in the upper 80s (until today, anyway), but I imagine the birds are still suffering in the heat.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/250s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso200 full exif

Nice that you caught him in full song... or full squawk. Good timing. BV

A panting bird...remember these in the UAE.

Sharp shot. Poor thing. It needs to find some shade.

Looks like he's irritated by the heat.....an excellent well detailed shot and nice with that perch......V

He appear to be in a fowl mood. Oh well it's that time of year, the heats on.
Julie Oldfield29-Jul-2022 01:08
He doesn’t seem happy at all. I can almost hear him. Nice clarity. V

Excellent capture. Seems to be complaining about the heat. V

Seems like there are lots of birds in your neighbor's yard. They must like his design ideas. ;)

Nice moment in full song but it looks like he's complaining about something. The heat, maybe? V

I bet a bunch of them are over at the zoo playing in the ponds they have there. Wonderful close up with tremendous detail and a great expression. ~BV~

Out in the sunshine instead of under a tree, poor thing. Super photo of it.
Tom Munson28-Jul-2022 17:39
