Hi Mark!! Merry Christmas to you!! I LOVE these little birds and you've managed to catch one on a nice perch. I only wish for a little more definition around the eye but doing that without blowing the whites... I'd be happy if this were mine!!

Peace, Chris

Nice shot Mark! I haven't had any of these guys at my feeder yet this year. Maybe the two feet of snow is keeping them at bay! A little fill flash would have helped bring out the eye on this guy.

Beautiful Junco, Mark! The bird's coloring and bg are very compatible. A fine image. (20mm? Really -- or was it 200mm??) In any case -- well done!

Thanks everyone.

Ooops, I meant 20mm extension tube Frank! So 500mm + 20mm extension :smile:
