Usually at this time of year a few of these birds will come down from the mountain and visit my feeder. This fella showed up this morning.

Really nice lighting, super sharp and the angle of the bird plays off the vertical perch beautifully

As I mentioned to you, Charlie, I am extremely envious! What a great photo! Love Mullein as perches!

Nice job on the DOF and composition. The larger image shows excellent feather detail. That perch is something
