Infrared winged blackbird

The interesting thing to note here is the infracolour of the plants. The grasses in the front and the leaves in the back both reflect infrared light similarly.

The reason the back is so dark is not because of the infracolour of the leaves but because of how much infrared light is attenuated by the air.

This helps a bit when you’re shooting a white bird.
