Spotted Flycatcher
Despite everything thrown at them weather wise this year they have come back and nested in exactly the same spot as for many years- behind a large barn door hinge. Lets hope they make it.

These are super little birds and this is a good looking shot of one, JR. I think you have just enough OOFness ( not sure if thats a word :biggrin: ) in the BG for it not to be too distracting and I like the perch so no nits from me.

Hi John a very nice image but the contrast looks a bit high on the background.
