I let patches of bird seed scattered from my feeders grow around the yard, in the flower beds and in my large potted plants. It makes for some "natural" food when they mature and good shots of the birds (and squirrels) eating some.
This little one was perched in one of those plants, nibbling at the ripe seeds and maybe some small insects while waiting a turn at one of the crowded feeders or water dishes. The bird and plant have back lighting from a low sun just after noon (I am facing south to take the picture.) so the near side has fill flash, at a bit over 40' with a better beamer.
