Wow, it's hard to get this little guy in focus! Taffy (on her Nikon), Li (on her Sony), and I (on my Canon) all tried but it took us hundreds of attempts to get more than a blob. We figured out that it must be the way the sun was hitting the surface of the feathers and some kind of glossy surface that didn't allow focusing. I finally used a CPL, and Taffy and Li focused on the branch, and we all ended up with good shots.
Cute little guy. I've only ever spotted/shot a flycatcher once, and it was difficult. My final shots were.... okay. Not as clear as I'd like. They are elusive. Any picture of one is impressive.
What a stunning little bird and excellent capture, well worth the effort to get this shot! Thank you for your kind comment on my owl AND for the tip on the CPL filter, much appreciated!!
