Took this one, this morning as the sun was just starting to shine.

Used the canon 450D, the canon 70-200mm f/4L zoom lens with the kenko 1.4 DGX converter set against the glass of a closed window.

I guess I like staying warm while shooting the bird's at the feeder. :)

Thank you for commenting, I do appreciate any helpful advice, and support.

Beautiful. That background color is so nice, you might try scrunching down a few inches to have that colored area supply the background for the entire bird and feeder.
The colors are soft and the lens provides excellent out of focus image for the background at that distance.

Excellent image, Sandi. The details are so sharp on the bird. The blurred yellow background shows off the blue bird so well.

This is really lovely Sandi. The colours are so beautiful and the details of the bird are very good. I also like the blurred orange background very much, itīs a perfect color contrast and sets the bird in focus. Excellent work!

Beautiful job, Tigs. What really sets him off is that golden background for compliment to his wonderful blue feathers. Great detail too from that wonderful lens and wonderful photographer too.

Looks like a happy Blue Jay too. The yellow background is a perfect contrast ... shows off the Blue Jay nicely. A beautiful capture, Sandi.

What a great close up! It's a beauty. I was staying at a timeshare this last week in the Smokey Mts and put sunflowers seeds on the patio and watched Cardinals, Blue Jays and tiny sparrows enjoy them close up, but never close up like this beautiful photo of yours Sandi. A+++ in my book! You are the best of the best!

A mouth full is not that much food for such a tiny one.
Cute and lovely picture, Sandi.

A fantastic close up shot of this guy. The clarity and coloring of his feathers really stand out. The golden blur in the background really makes this photo.

I have to say again Sandi, you are truly lucky having such beautiful birds coming around.

I don't put out seed anymore because of the foxes & wolves around, but miss having the birds around.
