This image was made this year at Magee Marsh in the incredible Mother's Day shooting. I never thought of Vireos as being upside-down birds, I guess any way to find bugs will do.
Canon D30, 500mm, flash at -1.5, tripod. Cropped to about 2/3 of the original, mostly to eliminate heavy branch at right and then re-compose. Got rid of bits of the heavy branch on right.

Nice one Cindy. Glad to see you here. It was an incredible shoot on Mothers Day. Too bad Geg and Heather couldn't make it this year...

Hey Welcome Cindy,

This is a great photo with classic Vireo behavior.

Cindy,

The green leaves frame the Vireo nicely! Great work!

This turned out very nice. Good job getting the focus on the money with all those leaves. :!:

Wow, Cindy! I love this! The greenish pastels offset by white and the different view of the vireo really appeal to me.
