Another one from the recent trip north with Jan.
A new species for me, although this is a young bird not quite fully plumaged...
Thanks for looking, Greg.

A terrific frame all around. Lovely pose, a beautifully framed perch and a sweet background.

Greg, Very well done. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I have to admit that I've copied the way you set up your perches in some of the photos I take.

I like the detail and the composition in this image. You can tell its a young bird by the corner of its mouth.

Man, you just keep pumping them out Greg. This recient fledgling looks great but the perch and the BG really highlight him well. Killer details too.
Nice work, as is your norm.
