... Makes Me Happy !
Titled from an old John Denver song that immediately popped into my head when this picture came on screen. Decided to leave the spiders silk thread in the image after spending too much time making the decision. I finally admitted to myself ... we're not talking the Mona Lisa here. :) I'm avoiding identifying the bird because frankly I find the Sparrow family quite difficult to identify ... my best guess is an immature Chipping Sparrow.

Another beautiful bird picture, John. I like the way it is sitting on the branch, and turning around to see you take the shot of him...or her. Excellent photography, as usual.

Hey
Wonderful image, John - so sharp and clear with very good colours.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Boy, it's a beauty, John! I'm glad you left the spider web remnant. It makes this shot a more perfect representation of what you saw and are now showing us. Gorgeous nature shot with wonderful background colors and dof. Wish I could reach out and rub his little back. lol

Howdy Muggsy me darlin,
I like the spider web in it. Lends authenticity. Great birdie capture. Love the blurred out background.

Great detail on this one John. These are all over my feeder now, also saw a junco and chickadee yesterday. I think it is a chipping sparrow.

Wow, what a pose you captured! The spider web just makes it all more natural. Great clarity and warm colors!

Oh my gosh John.......what a precious beautiful photo. But then, I LOVE all your birdie pictures. I'm so very happy that you posted a new one for us. I love this one very much. And he is going onto my desktop!! I really like how clearly I can see the tiny feathers under his beak, and his colours are magical.

Courage is fear that has said its prayers.
Fantastic image of this gorgeous bird! The details, colors and clarity are excellent. I too love the bit of spiderweb.

****Live every day as if it's your last... and take "pictures" of it ;) ****
I am always somuch in awe with the colorful bird postings here at caedes, wishing we had such birds overhere in the wild :-(
But you thought me a wize lesson. How ever dull the bird color might be, there is always a shot there, if only... we take notice.., and take the time to bother...I am very familiar with this city bird and know many of their facial expressions, because i share my lunch with them on a daily basis for years now. Thank you for sharing your skillfull bird images here John, since they are ALL textbook material. Although i fail to reply to most of them, (since i can not express my feelings to well in another language than my own). Just be sure that i saw them all with such great pleasure.
