Description

Finalist September 2012
*Animals*
These small songbirds inhabit all of the Hawaiian Islands. They are extremely energetic and always on the move (and difficult to photograph).
The song of this bird can be heard from a great distance and this is often how they are found. Their favorite foods are insects and nectar. I found them taking the nectar from the Aloe Vera plant.
EF 70-200 mm lens f/13 1/160 sec ISO 400

This has to be one of the most striking aviary captures I've seen in some time. The Japanese White Eye has an 'eye' on you, Heather!! LOVE the bird's pose along with the background.

I've had birds in my life for 30+ years. I currently have a dove (age 17)...named Cleo!!<:)) #9421581
