The picture of this Gray Catbird was taken in Prospect Park, Brooklyn May 9, 2010. As my learning curve for my CANONEOS7D continues, this pictures is one that exemplifies many factors coming together. And I am pleased with the progress.

It was an overcast day, the light was hitting the bird nicely. The Catbird was within six feet and I was able to make sure I had the correct (to date) setting on CanonEOS7D. I used the flash on a very low setting.
