Took this photo of this brilliant male while testing my Canon 40D and Canon 300 f4 L IS lens which just came back from Canon repair. I am pleased with the results. I keep one sunflower feeder up during the summer months and must remember to bring it in each night so the bears do not tear it apart. I have set up a few natural perches and sometimes the birds will even use them:). The best part is I can photograph from inside the house with the windows wide open.

Nancy, Good to hear you got your 300 back and it's working fine. Lovely colors and pose on this one. I might selectively sharpen the head a tiny bit if it were mine. Beautiful complimentary BG.:)
Cropping is so subjective, but I would shift the bird up slightly and to the left a bit. More sharpening too. Sounds like you have a great setup, shooting from inside your house! Looking forward to more.
Beautiful bird and nice catch. Love the background and nice perch. I now shoot with the same camera and lens you have (I add a 1.4x extender)...looking forward to more from you
