Very, Very nice!

Would love to see one of these, very rare in my area. Nice lighting and great singing pose.

Well done.

Nice capture of the moment rathke. I saw my first dickcissel couple of weeks ago. Like yours, they sang their heart out in the morning. Wish my shot was as nice.

VERY nice!
Not just a great shot because of the color and composition, I found myself looking at it and wondering to myself what he was singing about. Was he happy about something? Sad? Or just singing because he can!

Thanks to all of you for your comments! My feeling about his singing is "I'm happy to be back north for spring, ready to settle down with a good mate to raise more little Dickcissels". The early morning light is key to good captures. Thanks again.
