Taken last year and I was redoing the first image and decided to work on a couple more ( sometimes you just don't have the time but I should not have waited so long). These were photographed between raindrops with the 30D and 400 F5.6, and tripod. I positionned the finch feeders to capitalize on the perch provided , the angle and BG,,,then waited.:D

Very nice Gary. These are called "Pre-planned Perches". :D

Time to do some changes on mine, get some new sticks. :)
