Congratulations Grace!!!

Thanks go to my friend Lloyd Spitalnik for pointing out this bird. I had never seen one in fall plumage before. He was intense on eating insects off the stems of these Montauk daisies and this was as high as he ever got on the plant. A clean foreground would have obviously been ideal. Your reactions?

Great image, I love bird photos in their natural habitat.

How did you managed to keep this bird in focus, was this manual focus ?
