Location
The backyard of our house. Very serendipitous occurrence!Time
Approximately 5-6pm EST. Just before dusk.Lighting
I was extremely fortunate that this lovely showed up, it was fairly early for it to be awake. I think it showed up due to just waking up hungry, and I was working with a chicken in the yard.Equipment
I only had my Samsung cell on me.Inspiration
I turned around to see it suddenly there and staring at me on the backyard fence. It was bold and didn't fly away from me photographing it. It did fly over fence a couple feet to this tree to try to hunt in front of me, which was wild! This shot was after it hopped off the ground, and I was hanging over the stockade fence lol.Editing
Minor cropping, minor lightness tweaking, minor sharpening in Gimp.In my camera bag
I don't frequently carry a bag anymore, just my cell phone.Feedback
Always have a cell phone for these surprise visitors!
