‘A Winter’s Day’
Not much to do and cabin fever is high so sitting out in the snow among the frozen Pine Trees seems like a good idea. I need some ID help on this one please. Cropped to 70% of FF.

Nice pose and perch Mike.I like how the flash makes the ice on the tree sparkle. Looks like an Eastern Goldfinch.

Yes, a goldfinch! Image looks overly bright to my eyes...whites(snow on trees/lichens looks overexposed and lacking detail and the nice rich browns I usually see on these looks washed out). Other details are nice along with the head turn. Sharon

Nice American Goldfinch, Mike. I'm not sure about the overexposure Sharon mentioned. These go through quite a few plumage changes and the white snow is probably just oof, but you could try bringing it down a bit in ACR.
