Imaginative title, huh? =D I was out taking pictures for an insurance claim and saw this bird, I took as many pictures of it as I could before some kid on a skateboard whizzed by and scared it off (By the way, at that exact moment my frustration at the kid made me realise just how old I am =D)
I learned that telephoto zooms are good for bird photos, and even though you have a telephoto zoom, you still have to be close to the bird in order to see anything, I was about 5 feet away at 200mm (EXIF 50mm x 4) and I didn't get a whole lot in the viewfinder. Probably because of the tiny size of the bird.

Wow! You know you really got a great picture when you can clearly see the bird's eye. Great job Taylor!! :clap:

Funny thing is I got a picture myself that is almost exactly the same as this one. Same bird, and same pose. Weird huh? Anyway, your picture is much better than mine. I couldn't get anywhere near as close as you did, and even with my zoom lens, it did not come out as good as this one.

Great job!! :clap:

I was really excited when I saw this one for the first time; for my camera this kind of photo is a rarity =D
Odd, maybe birds rotate their heads like this a lot =D

I'm not the kinda girl everyone likes to be friends with. but rather that than not being who I really am
that is really gorgeous :D you can see the different iris colour and everything.
as always you've got a fantastic focus. i love the colors in this and i think the best part is the tilted head. he looks puzzled and curious.

Excellent photo! I think it's a Mocking Bird. We have them here too.
I love the bird's position in this photo too.
