"Child Seat"

We have a new spring crop of Black-crested Titmouse right now..
Like all newbies, they're fun to watch as they learn the ropes :smile:
It was bopping around so I tried to use a relatively fast shutter speed here to catch the action.
F/7.1, 1/1250th, ISO 500, 1D M3, 300mm f/2.8 + 1.4x ext in bright sunlight @ 12:47pm using partial metering.

Wonderful fun, Howard. Some light in the back would have been nice, but the pose more than makes up for it.

A delightful image. The subject is very appealing. I love the textures and overall monochrome look.

OMG is that too sweet or what? Great catch and lucky you to have them. Kudos to you for the certified habitat back yard or whatever it is called
