These guys are one of the earliest nesters in our area-I think right now they're on their second broods!

Fantastic shot. So simple clean and elegant if you ask me. I love the perch and the tones of the background.

My pheobes are at about the same stage and my bluebirds are sitting on the second set of five eggs as well. And think it isn't even officially summer yet!

Well OUR birds are on 3rd broods or even done for the spring (think 110 plus might cook a few eggs??)

Anyway this is a beautiful image. I like the soft bg color and the simplicity of the image. Nice job keeping detail in the dark and light too.

Greg pretty much said it for me. A simple and clean composition with everything in just the right place. I like the bare perch.

I can really appreciate this image as I have been chasing these guys all around my backyard for the past several months and have only gotten a few good images. You have done an excellent job here. The perch and the background are very nice. You can view one of my images of these birds in the EHK forum.

Hi Mary---this is elegant and sweet; I love it and wish I could say I had made it! Have tried repeatedly to get a decent shot with no luck. Wonderful.
