Haven't touched the shutter in month since all the ducks and shorebirds left for the arctic, so revisiting some older shots for re-edits.

This guy was shot in Central Park back in Feb of 2015. He was visiting an array of winter feeders in the Ramble section of the park.
So, this isn't a formal set-up, but the bird was in the area because of the offered seed/suet.

Background is snow or cocaine, take your pick.

I wish I had a bit more room around him, but space on the right is limited. Could go to a taller crop, but love the detail this view allows.
