Taken in Michigan's Eastern Upper Peninsula. We have a good cedar cone crop right now at the northern shore of Lake Huron, and southbound migrant songbirds can be all over them as north winds push the birds against the water barrier.

Paul, a great feeding behavioral shot with the cedar cones, and an interesting story to go with the image. Nicely done.

Paul, Excellent placement of the bird in the natural environment. On my monitor, it's just a tad dark?
