A Solitaire Portrait
Perched in the open on the juniper tree branch, this Townsend's Solitaire's white eye ring is highly visible.
A number of these birds found an abundant supply of overwintering juniper berries at the park, and each individual had quickly established and defended its productive patch. It was entertaining to see that it would actively chase away other birds that tried to encroach on its territory.
Taken on: Jan 2022, Hermitage Park, Edmonton. Alberta.
Nikon D500 w/500f4G @ f4.0; 1/200; -2/3EV; ISO2000
Lightroom 6.0
