A Downy On A Winters Morning

Took this one this morning out my window with the Canon ef 70-300mm IS USM lens. I tried to do a tad of HDR on this one and a little bit of lightening. I had it resting on my arm in the window, and he did not seem to be bothered by me but sure was active at this feeder.

As you can see we do have snow and it's cold out there.

Thanks for the comments, I do appreciate what you have to say.

Even a bird knows its priorities Sandi, lol.

I have feeders but nothing feeding from them Tigz. I guess they don't think I am for the birds as most people around here do.
Wonderful soft, Downy shot. :)

Brrrr, it looks cold! He probably did not fear you as much as not having a meal! That's a great lens. Merry Christmas, Sandi. ~~ John

I see you are feeding your feathered friends very well, Sandi :) Excellent details in his markings and feathers, as well as the feeder, and a perfect blurry snowy background to really bring him forward! Glad to hear you are staying warm :)

Hey sandi!
You have a lot of patients! And its really nice to have a good camera that you can get shots like this one! Really great detail in his ref spot and his feathers. I like the background as well.

I love feeding the birds, but haven't figured out how to get a picture of them. You did a great job at it!
