I've been meaning to say how much I have enjoyed your work Glenn, especially the fruits of your spring trip to Ontario. It is a huge skill to capture these small species in the open on pleasing perches and you seem to have the knack. Congratulations on the milestone.
Congratulations Glenn on not only your 1000th post, but this beautiful image as well. While I've only tried shooting the smaller birds a few times I believe what John C. says above to be true.... and your images reflect that skill.
A beautiful image, composition and detail are just about perfect. I also wanted to say that I picked up the current issue of Nature Photographer magazine yesterday, and noticed your photos on the back cover and on the last page. Congratulations!
