They are the best I have mangaed so far . I have gotten the birds to accept my hide and are coming and perching about 6' away so the pics are almost full frame.They still are molting there winter feathers so future pics should have better coloring. Thanks for looking.

VERY nice, Chris. I was trying to get some in the Redbud today against the purple flowers, but the redwings kept scaring them away!

Very nice shots, Chris. Now I can trash my Goldfinch shots...

Both shots are great. Very sharp and well exposed. The male image is a classic.

Both are very nice. I especially like the bokeh of the first shot. What did you take it with and any chance of you posting a picture of your blind?

Excellent shots. The bokeh in nr. 1 makes it extra special. Love it. Well done.

Very nice. I particularly like the second one because there is no dark shadow. A hide is the way to go for shots like these.
