    Default best buds!

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Taken from my blind and hoping a bird would perch on this magnolia bud, it did! This is a small tree I planted in my yard several years back and the birds also like to chew at the greens on the bottom of the buds... Again, no good light, so i am making the best with what i have, all the while controlling for noise...

    Another beauty out of that special hide. Love the perch, composition, details and killer BG. Here's hoping for some sunshine. TFS

    I like the flower and I like the bird, my eye just goes back and forth between the two...

    Nice to see this goldfinch coming into breeding plumage. The perch is neat. Like the flowet atop of it. The dark green background is nice as well.

    Love the bird, love the flower-just wish they were closer together.

    Lovely colors and comp. By the time he gets to full breeding plumage you will have trained him to get closer to the bud.

    Wonderful image design and a killer pose. Was the perch branch still attached to the tree?

    Hi Artie, Proudly, yes it is, it is in my yard, I planted it several years ago, rather still small overall but thriving.

    It must be a rather cooperative tree!
