    Thanks Neil. I am not sure what he has been into. The feeder at the house is sugar mixed with water. There are a lot of fruit trees in the area and they are at the blossoms all day.

    Great looking shot. What is inspiring me is that you can find amazing birds not far from your home.

    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.
