Taller spruce trees shadow the aspen trees and this dead branch, creating a dark background for a pine siskin (finch).

    wonderful shot and at least you are getting fresh air even in a resting position and means you can have a mug of tea at hand when you want one. : )

  • Jan Timmons replied

    Precisely, Karen. I’m looking at a huge black-capped and blue magpie in the bird bath. I think it’s displacing all of the water!

    Jan, I mean this when I say this is got to be the most beautiful capture of a Finch, I have ever seen. Its perfectly focused and The Black night background is superb! This gets me really excited. Well done. http://www.philadelphia33.org/

  • Jan Timmons replied

    Thank you, Trevor. Actually, that’s just the dark shadow caused by the spruce trees in the background. I will check out your link.

    SIMPLY SUPERB! Such a lovely bird!!!Instant fav!!! Daniela

  • Steve Buffington

    Steve Buffington

    Great shot. My take on why (not that you asked!) is the dynamic pose of the bird. They are so often static in shots. This one moves. Nice job.—Steve
