I couldn't believe it when this bird nested in a ceramic decorative bird house in our front yard. When I approached one day to see if the eggs had hatched she popped out and took this pose. I was carrying my new Nikon D500 that had just arrived with my favorite lens, the Nikon 80-400VR, attached. This shot was taken at 400mm, 1600 iso, f5.6, 1/2000 manual mode hand-held.
