AWESOME Spot on color and every detail of the feathers . I have them nesting in the evergreens along my one fence line for years and do not have a single capture. Very frustrating!!

Love these beauties. First of all when you get the male or the female the other is always close by. Their colors are gorgeous, especially the male here. In fact as I type I have a female at the feeder. So pretty to watch. I love the lighting and finish along with gorgeous details my friend. #10444428

What a lovely image, Jeff ,and what a neat feeder. There are tricks to taking great yard bird images and I have yet to master them. Great BG's, right camera settings, a good zoom, etc... :)))
