MUST BE TOUGH to WAKE and see such a sight in the morning and throughout the day.
GREAT CATCH Love the contrast of color in this one.
Most color I get is the occasional Cardinal passing by.

What a wonderful treat to have these beautiful birds flocking in your yard. The only place I see them here, sadly, is in a cage. I'm jealous. Hope to see more great shots like this one Debbie! #10196460

Hey, Down-Under-Gal! How cool seeing these beautiful birds in your own front yard! This is a gorgeous image - excellent vibrant color, perfect detail and I love the diagonal capture of his/her colorful body leaning into the branches of seed. Super work, Deb! #10197123
