I have two pairs of this bird in the neighborhood..they seem to like the birdbath and eat the sunflower seeds that fall off the feeders. They also (as you can tell by the dirt on his beak) like to dig for worms and insects.

you weren't kidding when you said, "close-up"! seems just a teensy bit soft on my monitor, but otherwise an excellent shot!

Amazing close-up, Karen! I thought their moustache hairs were a beard until I saw this photo. And I didn't know they were rooters.

Excellent shot Karen. Look sharp to me, especially when you can see its whiskers.

Thanks, everyone. I really like these birds. They kinda have the mockingbird frame, but a bit larger and shyer. I think they are so beautiful!

I have one in my backyard. My problem is I just cannot get close enough with my 70-200mm f4L and 1.4x TC.

I know what you mean...I almost threw this shot out as being blurry-but it's the background. Any idea why it would come out like that? Several shots look that way.
