Spotted on the short loop trail around Spruce Knob, the highest point in West Virginia. I only got one chance to get a clear snap at this bird, and all the rest were of him inconveniently peeking out from behind various leaves and branches.

Oh, and lots of this sort of thing:

Bullet bird, away!

      Thanks!

      I have a Canon R10, and this was using my still shiny and new to me at the time RF 200-800 lens. Without going and digging up the original and looking at the EXIF data, I strongly suspect this was at the maximum extremity of that lens’ zoom range.
