Chris,
You can treat the poison sumac with cortisone cream or you can let it alone, and it will go away in 3 weeks.
BTW Great image !!!!

This bird looks vaguely familiar ;-)

Nice detail, but wish the tail was in focus too.

Buy some calimine lotion :-)

This is great Chris! Nice pose & I love that perch with those poison berries. We sure did get lucky with these guys!

Chris,

Beautiful shot. The background complements the bird and the perch very well.

Good luck with the sumac.

This sucks, Chris. you should have stayed home and watched TV. Really not worth the effort or irritation.

Kidding....it's outstanding.

You & Kim are just plain mean. :) Tail nit mentioned, but otherwise this is another corker of the little kinglet. Crisp detail, perky pose atop the berries, and a nice complementary BG. Very nice!

What a terrific shots of such a small little guy! The background is killer here, and I love how you managed to get the red on his head. :)

Chris, this rocks! Bird, BG and berries are exquisite. Great job and take care of that itch.
