Ever tried to get two small birds in focus in the same frame? Well...out of 55 shots, I got close with this one.:D

    Very nice Ric. That sparrow looks as if he's been groomed for the 'show'. Perfect posture, tail tucked upward at 45 degrees, not a feather out of place. I think he was the winner, had to be. :D

    I've also had my frustrations trying to get two birds in focus in the same frame.

    Thanks, Bud! :D

    It's one of the few good shots that I have been able to get this winter.

    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!"
