This little guy was giving the Chickadees "what for" every time they came near the perch. I guess it felt that all the seed in the hole(placed there by me ) was his to hog. Always fun to watch the inter -action at a feeder.

Like the bird, the pose, and the BKGR. Could definitely use a chunk off the top for balance. Looks a tad over-sharpened to me; perhaps reducing the contrast might help with that.

Great use of fill flash on this one Joe. That really made for superb detail on this guy. Interesting perch you caught him on as well. Nice singing pose also.
