Immediate Home Delivery

This parent bird was bringing food (in this case a moth) to its young chicks in the bird house. This was a very busy parent and was making a delivery at least every 5 minutes while I was watching it. Apparently there is no shortage of insects. I don't know what variety of bird this is, and I don't know if it's the male or female parent. I'm more of a photographer than a knowledgeable bird watcher. My brother-in-law thinks it might be some kind of fly catcher, and my sister thought perhaps a female sparrow. I plead ignorance.

 

Lighting stuff: I put a bare YN560 on a light stand at camera left and a YN560-III on a light stand at camera right. The strobes were in manual mode and set at 1/8 power. They were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

Over the years I've taken quite a few pictures of birds including some which you might find worthy, and they're in my creatively named Birds album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628206812625/
