Pixel stained

This was a stalking shot. I was shooting cactus, and I saw this bird, with the arresting beak, in a tree.

 

Changed lenses, and started working to get a good position. Happily the light was behind me, so flare wasn't much of a problem (though the lens I was using has almost no flare).

 

He moved to this branch, and I moved to get the repetitive patterns of branch and beak.
