Pretty good detail for the large crop, David. It looks like quite a bit of noise came through. Where did you find the Meadowlark?

That was great finding these two together on this neat perch.

Nice find to get both in the same shot. Like the perch and poses. There seems to be a bit of noise in the birds, more than I would have expected at this ISO.

Interesting couple ! Always fun to have two different species in one shot. Cheers, Hans
