Suddenly he flew right at me

and I had no chance to back off. I had the 300mm lens and could do nothing but take the shot as he was sitting right above my head!

The sprinklers were on and he must have been foraging on the ground to get such a wet breast.

Just look at those claws, my fingers almost look the same due to osteoarthritis ;-)

Fabulous shot of this bright little bird (I would so love to have birds like this in my area!)

[Elyse Klemchuk]

Wow! Look at his bright color, and his feet!
