Pine Siskin in Flight
I captured this pine siskin in flight leaving my back yard feeder. I like that the bird is looking directly into the camera at the moment the shutter was tripped.

Awesome capture Wayne! Looks like you caught the action just as the bird left the perch, hasn't had time to spread it's wings yet. To catch it looking at the camera when you tripped the shutter is a great bonus. Another nice one!

Very nice detail Wayne. He also looks kinda of confident in his takeoff. Wheels up and only one wing out!

Great catch, Wayne. It looks like he is showing off for the camera.

Another nice bird image. You are having some great luck with birds of late.
