On my lunch hour today I went for a walk and found a nice wooded area where a good sized flock of these were moving through , this is the first time I have ever seen this bird so all though the images aren't really top notch I'm pretty happy with them especially given the fact that these tiny little buggers never seem to stop moving , C & C is welcome and appreciated

Very nice shots of a busy little bird. Sharp with good lighting. Thanks for sharing.

Cool! The fall foliage always makes for a great backdrop. I'm not really much of a birder as they say, yet, but the pics you take are definitely good.

nice ones! I went looking for these guys today, at the place where I saw them around this time last year. Alas, the drought here has been so bad that the berry bushes they used to feed on are all dried up.:(
Maybe I'll see them somewhere else..... but I enjoyed seeing yours.

Nice one Wayne; I haven't be able catch sight of these guys very often at all; let alone capturing "out-in-the-open" shots..

Well done!

Congratulations on the new bird Wayne and the last image works for me. A very tough bird to shoot as they perpetually move from branch to branch and change body position...you did well with the 200 to get so close.
