These are from yesterday. I came across a couple of little guys who weren't jumping all over the place..well, they sat there for a few seconds, not minutes. I think they were enjoying a little sun, which we don't see a lot of...cheers...Don

    Very cool set and love the background in all of them. For some reason the smaller the bird the more interesting and entertaining I find them.

    The kinglet is too cool. Nice jobclap.gif

    GREAT SHOTS!! thumb.gifthumb.gif

    Small birds like this are VERY difficult to get shots of cuz they are constantly on the move.
    Most of the time you have a fraction of a second and they have moved!

    Excellent set of images, well exposed and fine details. clap.gif

    You might try selecting the eys and applying some USM to them to get them to stand out a tad more.

    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!"
