we had an ice storm this morning that turned to snow . Birds started getting busy at the feeder right as the snow started.

processed in DPP then in PS for neat noise reduction on background and sharpening on the bird.
Love the bird and the snow. Wish for more d-o-f on the perch. That is probably the first time I have ever said that, I guess because the perch is relatively large as compared to the bird. Sharp on the bird with a perfect EXP.

Thanks Artie. I had smaller perches set out for these guys with suet stuffed in cracks and holes , but they were covered with a thick coating of ice and this is the only place they could land without sliding off. It was actually pretty funny to watch them sliding off the branches .
