Palm Warbler in non-breeding fall plumage perched in a Goldenrod gone to seed. The bird is migrating, but seems to have stopped in Connecticut to store up some calories before continuing south.

Lucky to see a common Kestrel -Falco tinnunculus- catching a small insect and eating on a wooden pillar 8)
Later on, stand for a while for some shoots before searching for the next prey

Thank you Colin and Fons :)
Black redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros) with 500pf + 1.4III
Its a hi crop (75%) enhanced by Topaz :)
I noticed that shots from 500pf can be enhanced very successfully compared to my previous lens, maybe because  the image  its much more clear and can accept all that processing

Thank you

Birna, I often scroll back through the start of this thread and numbers 10, 15, and 17 always floor me.  Powerful images.
