Great shot. These birds are difficult because they are constantly on the move. Nice bokeh also.

We have them here and they move in little groups of 10-20 birds and they are really tough to shoot. Very quick, never staying on a branch for more than a split second. They are such cute birds and make sweet little sounds as they move about. This is a very nice shot of one...well done!

Nice complementary colours in the bokeh and sharp image makes this one a real winner.

Well done,


I Love my Canon,

Cute shot. They are one of the most common birds here in the central valley of California and I have gotten so many shots of bare branches I finally gave up trying to capture them. You done good.


Regards,
Chuck
