This handsome fellow posed for me today. At one point I had 12 of them up in a pine tree, they looked like decorations!

Nice detail in the body and wing. I would have liked the head turned just a bit to the right on the screen but we can't pose these guys, can we?!?! :)

Extra nice, Karen. You're knocking the eyes out of these shots of little feeder birds.

With the feeders out and lots of thistle seed, you would be overrun with finches! These guys are about 8-10' away and don't mind the camera at all in my window blind.
