Kingbirds (Eight Photographs)

Taken on August 3^rd, I got some better views of the birds. However, better views did not translate into easy to shoot. I finally decided to use spot metering and exposure compensation along with high ISOs to get as much detail as I could. The shots are noisy and leaves between the subject and my camera obscured some features. Using layers to darken the surroundings, and brighten the birds added to the noise but brought out features. The blue strips you see are salvaged garbage the parent birds used in the building of their nest. Next set of Kingbird shots on Sunday.
