  thanks! - these little boogers are birdy teases... there will be a whole flock surrounding you in the forest and you can hear them, but finding them can be next to impossible. They love dense brush, deep woods and never stop moving, so by the time you spot one and try to focus it's already gone. They don't migrate so they are around pretty much any time I hike in the woods, but it's taken years to finally get one in focus and nicely framed. Posted 7 years ago

    Interesting! I don't often have the patience to get good shots of birds. Your persistence has paid off though and now you have this gorgeous shot! Posted 7 years ago
