Got this one late this afternoon. I made a point to get a 50lb bag of bird feed. It's very cold here and I want to try to keep them healthy. He almost seemed to be poising for me. We have a pretty big burn pile and I think this makes a good haven for them during the winter months, we make a point to have one all winter long.

Used the canon 450D along with the canon ef 70-300 IS USM lens. Had my arm resting on the window sill.

I tried to look this fellow up and he might be a black throated sparrow. Maybe someone out there know's ?? I know there are many kinds of sparrows.

I did only a little editing on this one. Depended on the camera settings mostly.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Another charmer here Sandi. I really like the contrast of the feeder full of tiny seeds and the perfectly out of focus background.

Not sure, but my guess it is some kind of sparrow. I believe he / she is thanking you for the bird seed. Excellent detail throughout ... very well done Sandi.

Seeing this image and reading your narrative does me realize again that you have a great love for birds Sandi. Your bird images are a reflection of this love, and therefore I think they are that good.

A bird on the feeder is worth two on your memory card! Well, maybe that is not exactly how the old phrase goes. I cannot believe the detail, especially the feet.
