Classic image of this handsome little "thistle bird". Love the inquisitive pose and the choice of background. Nice compositions also. This is the state bird of Iowa where I grew up and also Washington where I now live'

Perfect plumage and pose; classic perch. A very nice image of this species.

George, pretty little bird and image with great eye contact, interesting perch, pleasing colors, and that mottled BG is rich and beautiful.

George, this is wonderfully photographed and composed. Looks like he was caught with his head in the cookie jar.... I guess he kinda was :)
