Tho not a birding photographer, I happened to walk by this wire fence and captures this guy sunning. I like the iridescent colors on the feathers and the symmetrical shape.

That's a great shot, I really like this angle. Excellent detail and feather patterns.

Thanks for looking and for the comments, my longest lens is a 70-200 so have not done much of this type of shooting.

Sometimes it's not about the lens but the timing and the situation. In this case its the latter 2.
