This little lady has been camped out near the feeder for the past week or so. She comes and goes, but never seems to be gone for long. Shot through the kitchen window...

Ever vigilant...

What beautiful shots, Mike, she's a doll! And she looks a bit pudgy too, maybe a royal offspring is in the offing?

Nice shots, they usually don't sit for long and they are gone.

Mike,
did you drug it to get it to sit that long!
Very nice photos even if they werent through a window.

I think they really show what a 7d can do in good hands.
800 iso looks very nice to me.
