While unsuccessfully waiting to try to capture the hummingbirds in my garden I settled on the Golden Finches..AKA Greedy Guts. These bird feeders will put us in the poor house yet!!

Oh and he is a beauty too! I have been getting tons of the purple finches but hardly no yellow...this is just an awesome capture!

If my wife only knew what I spend on feeding the birds! Great shot and yes they do like feeders.

Very nice - and this fits the current Mini Assignment with a perfect example of using shallow depth of field to isolate your subject and blur the background! You should add this post as a link in the assignment.

You really made him pop from the b/g with fine bokeh indeed!

I`m glad I`m not the only one having issues capturing those darn hummers, this is a great image!

What a beauty! We had a few go through here this winter. This one surely has his beak full!
