Eastern Phoebe (juvenile) - Moucherolle phébi (juvénile)
I got my 80D back from Canon (broken shutter mechanism) after four months (Covid shut the repair facility) and dashed down to the Ottawa River to catch the late day sun. Happily, a very young Eastern Phoebe was hunting insects low in the branches right beside the River, and after grabbing and wasting something it popped onto a perch in the sun. Because Phoebes are among the first of the migrants heading north in the spring, I have already had a lot of fun securing images of these cooperative birds. Like most juvenile Phoebes this bird was completely unimpressed by my presence, and continued to hunt and return to perches all around me. That is the open River serving as a kind of background.
