The Chopi Blackbird is identifiable by the groves in the bill. In tennis there is the concept of the ready position, to which one should return after every shot. I had been shooting something with f2.8, and forgot to reset the camera. Then I took this shot, and am including it here because the eye is in focus, where I had so much light and could have chosen a f setting to keep more of the bird in focus.
