This guy caught me completely off-guard. I was having breakfast, early in the morning, before work, and saw him mooching seeds from a vase of sunflowers we had brought home after a church program. I ran to the bedroom, grabbed the Canon, and fired of a couple of dozen shots through the back door, through the blinds, the whole deal... Here is one Blessed result...
Yes, Terry, the gold early morning light was amazing.
I wished I had the chance to open the blinds, but the bird was only 4 feet or so beyond the door, and I figured SOMETHING was better than NOTHING.
Fantastic light and detail. Love these little American Goldfinch, I have a feeder for them and sometimes have as many as a dozen hanging off it eating. Great capture.
