Photographs are records of life. Pity they don't make music when you put them in a record player. :p

Nice action here...you managed fine exposure even though he seems surrounded by lots of foliage. It results in a super capture. Good work.

Thanks everyone it was just luck! Yes that is a feather and by the color of the feathers I think it was a catbird or robin.
