Thanks and have to agree, the 2nd shot really makes the little guy pop on the background.

Me too. Thanks!

have a pair of these trees ... some kind of blossoming pear tree that doesn't bear fruit. Good for the birds to hang out in, though.

Thanks BG. It was another completely dismal day. Probably raining at the time too. Easier to catch these guys in the shade.

Exactly! I followed the little guy around the tree with the lens trying to get him out in the open. Just a beautiful little guy. Couldn't resist!
