Townsend's Solitaire

These guys migrate through Victoria on their way further up Island and to higher elevations.

I just love the small Gary Oak leaves on the branch this one landed on :)

I like the leaves too - a great offset to the grey of the bird. Nice portrait Glenn!

glenn
nice effort - great detail, colors and composition
was the perch a setup? what was the bkgd?

Hi Glenn,

A simple composition that I find very effective. The exposure looks spot on and the image is sharp. Colors look good. Enough of a head turn to engage eye contact. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
