Fall is interesting with how the weather can affect any day of the month, one minute being sunny, the next being hazy, foggy, clouds rolling in, turning every thing grey. This day, started off grey, no color what so ever. Finally, the sun broke through, and shined pretty bright.

I was observing all the birds gathering thier winter supplies when this one Red Breasted Nut Hatch was sitting on this tree branch holding a seed in his mouth, as the sun was beaming towards me, I was thinking, maybe this is too much sunshine...but I snapped the shot anyway. Normally, these birds do not sit long enough to get good shots, I considered myself lucky as the bird waited for me to finish.

I got this shot using a Canon R5, along with a Canon 200 - 800 mm lens, the settings I used were 400mm, f7.1, 1/1000 sec, ISO 6400.

The lighting is natural sun light, the bokeh - that came along with the sun light, the color, well, that is fall, the leafs are changing fast, going from green to dead brown.

I did a little editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic
