Reed Bunting
These little fellows are all over the reed beds right now and unlike many other LBJs they will sit still, which is handy.

50D,600+1.4, ISO 250, 1/250@f8, car window.

I like the pose - I seem to have lost the detail in the blacks, though. Feather patterning on back is super.

Hi Bob,

The background is a bit busy for me, but the captured pose of the bird is really very nice.

A little to much contrast on the bird fro my liking and agree about the BG. Otherwise the detail seems to be good and it's really nice bird to be able to image.

Super bird, lighting and habitat, think it could even more space on LH side.

I like this, I like the messyness of the background too; its where they live; Personally I am getting tired of the clean and sterile background shots (although I've shot loads like that myself) on this the BG is soft enogh to hint at the habitat without overpowering the subject, nice one!
