Photographed this little gal at Madera Kubo B&B, Madera Canyon, AZ. Some find it difficult to identify, however, the tiny bit of red at the base of the beak gives it away.

Hi Gus: Great "pose". I've been trying to photograph those tiny creatures perched without much success. I would prefer seeing the large white spots in the background more evenly blurred.
Hi Gus. There's a beautiful silvery feeling to this. Normally I would find the bg highlights distracting, but for me in this case they seem to add to the image. Nicely done.
Hi Gus - Lovely - normally I would say the background highlights are distracting - but this just seems to fit together so well.
Good HA and eye contact and flight position works well.
Big congrats - like this a lot :)
