I was walking slowly along a marsh and a number of tiny birds were working the shrubs. I had my camera ready and one came to the outside with just enough time to shoot one shot (it was just inside my close focus on the 400.)

We have Phoebes here too and of course they catch flies. Dennis

There's something about them, even if they are not the most colorful of passerines. They are so hard to tell apart though! RESPECTING NATURE while photographing it...
