What a precious little bird! The colours are just magical! And the way he's perched on that thorny ol' branch! You certainly got a great photo here! I assume you took his picture in Botswana? or are these birds in Canada too? Well,its just gorgeous!!....verena
What a delightful, beautifully colored bird you captured Herman. I have never seen a bird like this. It appears to be on a locust tree branch due to all the thorns!. The tail feathers are a bit of focus. My experience in taking pictures of my birds is that something is always out of focus becasue they move so doggone fast~Is this bird native to Canada or somewhere else? Well done and downloaded to my favorites folder on my harddrive for future use as a desktop! Thanks for posting this :~)
Fantastic image!
I sure hope to get the opportunity to use my new nikon this spring and get this close!
Sure wish I had my buddy Mayne here to adjust the camera settings first, lol.

Beautiful colors on this little bird...good choice to go for a plain background so as not to detract from or clash with his colors...very nicely done.:Pat.
What a beautiful bird! I don't think I've seen such a small bird so many colors :D It's feather's look so soft I want to pet him! Nice capture, good work!
