Audubon's Oriole

Not quite free from the hand of man in this image (somebody sliced that orange), but this was the best shot I got of this species.  Most of the shots were either eating peanut butter (much messier), in dense growth, or of a deformed individual, so I decided to go with this.  The bottom of the orange in this shot was obscured by an obnoxiously bright oof leaf, so I stole the bottom from another shot taken at a slightly different angle and distance; resized the image to make the orange match, put both on the same layer and cloned between them.

7Dii, 500mm f4 ISL + 1.4TC, Jobu Gimbal on RRS legs, f/5.6, 1/400, iso 1250, aperture priority, center weighted average metering, no compensation.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  Full frame.  Taken at 9:14 am on March 3rd at the Salineño refuge.

P.S. Larry, the docent at Salineño, pointed out that all five of the photos of this species in the I-bird app were taken there.  If you look at them, you'll notice that three of them were taken on the same perch.

Your comments are most appreciated.

Thanks,
