Hard to pick a favorite, but in terms of songbird images, this shot from June 2002 is one of mine. The perch is redtwig dogwood. Dover, PA, EOS-3, 600 IS, 12mm extension, 1.4x, evaluative -1/3, 1/80, f8, Velvia at 80 and pushed one stop.

Smokin' image Cliff. Love the over-the-shoulder pose and perch.

Cliff,
The bird is only half this wonderful image. The perch and background make up the other half and make it just a great photograph!
