Birds were lining up to get to a seed feeder at one of the lodges we stay at on the Garden Route in South Africa.  This little Common Waxbill was wedged between 2 Forest Canaries trying to get to the feeder.  I cloned out another partial bird.

The waxbill..seems to have a quizzical look wondering why the feeding line-up. Nice shot that has a story-telling component.

Clean background too

It looks like there is some discussion is going on, based on the body language.
Excellent image, Nate.

Poor thing looks a bit intimidated by the 'heavy boys' Nate! A great story telling image with this interaction.

Fun image. The bird in the middle doesn't look like he's having it!
