An HDR picture, taken at the extreme long end of my RF 200-800’s range. These two managed to hold still long enough for all three exposures to land. These two are transitioning into their winter plumage, which also includes their beaks changing from yellow-orange to black, and their feet going from pinkish to a dark brown. I would tell you how this works, except I’m quite certain I don’t know.

As a side note, I accomplished absolutely nothing with lugging this lens around for the whole trip other than that picture, and also this one:

    Good stuff. The iridescence of their plumage is so beautiful. Here’s the best from my recent starling encounter.

    I know this feeling, but those birds are beautiful. Thank you for the pictures <3
