Western Bluebird taking off from post (Sialia mexicana)

This is a bird perch setup in a farm on the outskirts of the Santa Cruz city limits.

Sony A7rIV, 400mm f/2.8, 1.4x TC at 1/2000, f/7.1, ISO 400, cropped down to 2018x2018. That's a 4x crop for effective focal length 2240mm. On your screen, it's probably pretty close to 1:1 detail. Pretty amazing detail.
