I go to the Bear River Bird Refuge quite often to get photos. This day there a few red wing blackbirds flying around and a patch of cattails. I wanted to get a photo of a blackbird perched on a cattail to I waited for that to happen. I was glad I waited because I thought the contrast between the blackbird and the cattails was amazing. Camera settings were, continuous focus and shutter, 1/500 sec., f/8, and 700mm focal length. Equipment included Nikon D750, Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 lens, TC-14E III teleconverter, Induro Stealth CLT403 tripod, Wimberly WH-200 gimbal head.
