  Thank you !
  
  I live on ten acres of poplar/willow brush.
  
  There is no one good "feeding" spot so I set up seed feeders with natural branches and shoot from a blind.
  
  Cheers, Don

  I like them all Don but especially the first shot. Appears that a little wind got under the feathers which brings this on to life!

  I love all the images here, Don. Such beautiful color. #1 and 2 are my favorite and #4 appears to be looking right at you.

  Thank you Denise and Jo !
  
  I'm kind of partial to the first one for character. A kind of Marilyn Monroe style
