Well, around here the days have been nothing but overcast and the sun was coming out the next morning and decided to go photograph the little birds at the local park.

    Thanks very much, and yes these are neat birds, but very hard to get to sit still just for a second or 2 and sure was a challenge, but fun, and thanks again.

    Hi Ric, and thanks very much, and yes that shot is neat as it is not often you see them do that sort of thing.

    Yes, that was the only image that I had for the two days with an open beak, and I agree I too love there sound. I may head back there again just for more images of the Nuthatches, have tons of the Chic-A-Dees for this year.

    Beautiful collection, Dennis. The soft light really worked in your favor. Pretty birds. I think I like the last two compositions best.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Hello Al, and thanks very much for the kind words. Yes the Red-Breasted was the hardest to get on that day and just wished they would sit a split second longer, but they sure challenge your skills
