This was taken with the Canon 450D and Canon ef 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens. I did crop this one a little.

Hope your having a good day, and thank you in advance for any and all comments and helpful tips.

The bird seems to be resting comfortably, even with all that ice around. I'm glad it's not hanging from its feathers, too. Excellent composition, Sandi. I like the colors of the shot too.

The sparrow looks like it's found the perfect shelter from winters snow & ice. Very nicely captured Sandi. I like the DOF & presentation too.

The bird looks suicidal to me Tigz. Good thing you had some feed out to make it think twice. Love the ice hanging around the feeder. Great post.

Oh bless what a lovely shot of a Sparrow Tigz

As a boy they were extremely common in our towns, & cities but now their a rare sight ! They used to nest outside my window at my London parents home in the guttering. Their chirping / bickering was a familiar sound. :o)

Don't forget to supply water not ice ! in days of old we used a candle to stop water from freezing .. Thanx 4 sharing

If you have a garden please feed the birds this winter, & supply drinking water not ice, it's so important. . . . Help dwindling bird numbers survive.

A nice frozen bird shot Sandi, I guess the birds up there are getting used to frozen dinners. I think it would be great if you put a heated bird house next to that feeder. Well done

Hey this motel has a snack bar! Actually, I think he has a warm place somewhere cuddled next to his kin. This is such a beautifully typical winter shot...a real keeper!

The little bird looks very cold and hungry. Time to fill up the feeder.
