Ground Feeding Junco

We still have Juncos to let around here. I know this shot doesn't meet "artistic" guidelines and tastes, but images of wildlife in their natural habitat appeals to me and I liked the pose of this little fellow too. Thought I'd share.

That's a real cute shot Dave. You must have been right down on the ground!

Very nice, what did you use the 300 and tc?

Nice shot

Thanks Steve. The perspective has more to do with terrain and position than anything else. The Junco was at the top of a small knoll and I was at the bottom.

Actually, I had the good fortune of "obtaining" a relatively new 400L f/5.6 a month or two ago at a great price. Fellow at work thought he would like wildlife photography. He didn't. And then "had" to liquidate his investment. Couldn't pass up the price!!! And that is the lens I used to capture this image. Thanks for the compliment too.

Thanks Ken.

Stunning, lovely bird

That little female is a ground dweller and is exactly where she belongs. Good for you David and for the excellent photograph as well. BTW - we still have a few here too. Not for long though.

Stellar shot, spot on everything!

Charming capture Dave... pretty little bird, nicely done... I just counted 34 on my front lawn, they are pouring through the northland.
