Black-headed Grosbeak, Mendocino County, Northern California. This is a basic BOAS (bird on a stick) image. I picked up this lichen covered branch from our road a couple of days ago. Early this morning I clamped it just below a perchless feeder for the birds to land on. Previously I hung a fabric background eight feet behind the perch. My camera was set up on a ground pod behind a window hide/blind in our back bedroom window. It is roughly seven feet from the perch. My camera settings were AV mode, ISO 800, F 8.0 at 1/60th of a sec. Image created with a Canon EOS 7D with a Canon 100-400mm lens. #teamcanonusa, #shotoncanon God's light and love to all, chris
