Little birds
All taken with the A700 and Sigma 135-400 APO. Goldfinches and wrens are here to stay, but the white crowned sparrow is just passing through. I wish I could have added a Ruby crowned kinglet to the mix, but haven't gotten a good shot of one of those. Strangely, I liberated one of those from some tomato netting two weekends ago.

I love that top one the most. Really good framing.

Thanks to both of you. I liked the way the goldfinch had its head angled upward in the top one.
Here are two more of the White Crowned Sparrow.
I kinda wish that out of focus flower in the lower right corner was a little bit lower or not there at all.

I like them all!
I am sitting here looking at 1 good bird shot (up to my specs) that I have taken in a real long time. Then you drop a load of em'
Thanks for making me feel like total garbage. ;)

Great shots! You guys are gettting me thinking of taking up birding. Man, I never thought that would happen. *grin*
