Beautiful shot Jim. Great background, DOf and nice and sharp for 1/60 @700mm !!! What's he been eating??
Great looking shot. What is inspiring me is that you can find amazing birds not far from your home.
Like everything about this. Nice shot.

Jim.
A very nice, sharp, and colorful image of a beautiful bird that was looking at you. I also like the vegetative growth on the perch.
Well done!
Bird, pollen, pose and EXP sweet. I much prefer the character of this perch but would still prefer a thinner perch.

Another beautiful image Jim! I see you've taken a walk in the woods...(nice perch)
P.S. Before my 40D died I thought it produced more than adequate files at ISO 800 - just to keep in mind if you need higher SS.
Super sweet, such nice details on the bird and the perch. Keep this up and you may get some company in your yard.....
