Went hunting for Pied Bushchats at San Mateo area yesterday (on the side, since i had some filming to do in the area)... i was waiting for them to perch on this same branch, but someone else landed on it! i got surprised by the arrival of this migrant! They surely are here! This is my first Brown Shrike shot for this season! Welcome back Brown shrike! Brown Shrike (Lanius cristatus) D300S+500 F4.5+1.4XTC @ 1/320 sec., f/8, ISO 640, tripod, manual exposure, tripod, available light  |

You took this picture very accurately in the sense that it really looks skinny from the long trip to get here. Well done JV. Mabuhay.

Bird season is starting with the arrival of the brown shrike. Nice capture of this early migrant, JV.

Nice shot, JV. Bird season is indeed coming. Hope I can bail my gear from Canon service soon!

Truly very skinny for now, Ely... wait till they start fattening up on ETS chicks after all the catterpillars are gone!  |

Thanks Doc William! They will be good target practice birds at our home field at UPD once they start swarming around the campus!

Thank you Edu, it has taken me a while to fine tune the combination with different bodies... but the lens AFs quite fast without the TC..

Cool shot, Jv! These birds can be quite cheeky sometimes - which, of course, always presents great photo-ops like this one.

Great shot JV! So far, my Brown Shrike experience has been frustrating. Three sightings up close without a camera on hand. But as you said, they will be all around soon.
