Lovely little bird with a fearless disposition. When I came out to shoot the flurry of birds that were around the feeder, they all took off except for this little fella.. He posed for me, ate, frolicked about.
Shot with the Sony A77 w/ Sony 70-400mm G Lens @ 400mm, ISO 640, f/5.6, S 1/800 sec ... shot from about 20 yards away.

They are very cute birds with lots of personality. Seems just a tad soft to me(could be my monitor)

Nice shots. I wonder if you shot these through a picture window. Sometimes that will soften a pic some.
