Here's another shot of a bird on my favorite perch. Even though these guys are really common here, I just love the colors. All comments welcome and thanks for looking. 20D, 100-400mm at 200mm, ISO 400, 1/250th, F/11. Cropped slightly for composition.

That is just lovely, Dick! These guys are backyard birds for me in the winter, and this is one of the best I've seen.

Beautiful shot! Great bird (to those of us in the midwest) too. This composition works better to me than the last shot you posted in a similar setting.
