McDonalds bird. by maggie2

McDonalds bird.

Some people get hamburger and fries, I get a bird photo through the window.
I read a discussion on thanking people on their comments. So I'm thanking everyone here for all the terrific comments. I read every word and appreciate them, but am trying it this way and hope not to offend anyone.
this as an amazing shot sparrows are always too quick for me :( and i dont mind you saying thank you but this way is good to, do you mind if i thank you?

Beautiful shot Margaret!!! Detail is amazing!! Very well done.
March 15th, 2011  
Oh this is gorgeous Margaret! Beautiful colours :) Great capture, as always
March 15th, 2011  
Phenomenal capture! Love the clarity and dof. Is this the correct way to thank people now!?! I'm a little scared to thank people after that thread :O
March 15th, 2011  
This is so beautiful!!! I absolutely love it!!
March 15th, 2011  
Amazing shot! The colors and textures are fantastic!
March 15th, 2011  
what a sweet photo!!
March 15th, 2011  
This is a great photo! Lovely bird!
March 15th, 2011  
beautiful capture
March 15th, 2011  
great shot - beautiful colors
March 15th, 2011  
And probably a lot of stares from the other customers. Look at that crazy lady, but hey, that's who we are, right? We enjoy the beauty all around us. You captured a wondeful shot of this cute bird.

WONDERFUL closeup, such great detail. McDonald's is a great place to get bird shots...they're all over the place stealing french fries! :)
March 15th, 2011  
very cool shot!
March 15th, 2011  
Beautiful detail! Gorgeous shot.
March 15th, 2011  
Pretty bird, lovely pic!
March 15th, 2011  
What a cute little fluffy bird. Great detail and composition. :)
March 15th, 2011  
This is a sweet emotive photo. I love the pose of the sparrow. You can really see the characteristics of this bird. Maggie you follow and are followed by so many whenever you comment onmy shots I feel very touched. It is hard to keep a balance and I think you should do whatever feels right to for you. I will always follow your shots and you don't need to thank me. I am happy to share my thoughts.
March 15th, 2011  
Love this shot! Very intimate!
March 15th, 2011  
How cute
March 15th, 2011  
@digitalrn Rick, there was a little guy in McDonalds that came over and asked if the pictures came out right then. I showed him the pictures I had taken on the LCD screen and he suggested if I stepped back, I could get the entire bush. Very cute little guy. So we crazy photographers influence the next generation of crazy photographers.
March 15th, 2011  
Beautiful shot and I love the composition!
March 15th, 2011  
@wac Wendy, my idea was to thank people when I commented on their shots as I feel I really want to say thank you.
March 15th, 2011  
Margaret - I absolutely love your photos - every one. They're just perfect. You have a gift for these shots.
March 15th, 2011  
@hdoyle @semrants Helen, and Sarah, I'm not sure what to do myself. I so enjoy reading peoples comments and that they even take the time to look. I hate not to say thank you, but don't want to annoy anyone. LOL I know the discussion was not intended to offend anyone or criticize it was just to make things more efficient.
March 15th, 2011  
@bluemoon Paula, Thanks. I think all of these birds must have high cholesterol.
March 15th, 2011  
Beautiful capture. I think you should go to McDonald's more often if this is the result of you going there :-)
March 15th, 2011  
Love his plump little body. The detail of the feathers is wonderful.
March 15th, 2011  
a cute bird, absolutely beautiful!
March 15th, 2011  
Beautiful
March 15th, 2011  
Wow such a beautiful photo. Every feather is discernible. Adorable little bird.
March 15th, 2011  
WOW! Through a window??? What a great shot!
March 15th, 2011  
Great shot!
March 15th, 2011  
I gave up fast food for Lent, so I'll definitely take this sweet birdie over a burger and fries!
March 15th, 2011  
sweeeeet shot! Amazing detail, nice composition-perfectly perfect!!
March 15th, 2011  
Cute!! :)
March 15th, 2011  
Beautiful shot and detail!
March 15th, 2011  
very nice shot of this one. beautiful detail. Not sure which sparrows you get on the other side of the continent, but it looks (& behaves- hanging out at restrauants) like our House Sparrows.
March 15th, 2011  
Awesome . . . he's very handsome!
March 15th, 2011  
Awesome shot!
March 15th, 2011  
Beautiful bird shot - the detail is perfect.
March 15th, 2011  
What a stunning sparrow shot! I love those little birds!
I'm happy if this is the way to thank people, I give the same idea a try. I look at your pictures every day, so I'll see them every time.
March 15th, 2011  
Much much better than hamburger. He looks a chubby little sweet sparrow.
Thank you for sparing me the "thank you" notification.
March 15th, 2011  
FABULOUS Maggie - gosh so many great shots from you recently - another fav. yeh, that thanking thing - tricky to balance it with our urge to appreciate all these lovely comments, but that works well for me. I'm thankful to you for just putting up such lovely shots!!
March 15th, 2011  
Oh what a gorgeous little bird. The detail is fabulous.
March 15th, 2011  
incredible detail. He looks so soft...and so teeny!
March 15th, 2011  
Wonderful detail of this cute little guy!
March 15th, 2011  
Lovely capture - and better for you than burgers and fries! He's got such pretty colours, and there's great DOF in this pic too :)

The thanking thing is definitely tricky. I'm very time-limited, so I choose to spend my available time commenting on the many beautiful pics on 365, rather than thanking everyone specifically on my pages. Most of my wonderful followers keep coming back each day, so I guess they're ok with the deal :)
March 15th, 2011  
love this pic he is so cute
March 15th, 2011  
Awesome! As long as you didn't eat the bird then we're good...burgers and fries will kill ya!
March 15th, 2011  
Great shot!
March 15th, 2011  
Thak you Margaret. If you want this rose for your study I am ahppy to email it to you. Just let me know. You know what is very tough (for me) - shooting red roses. They seem either to bright or too dark. I have to try multiple setting and see what happens.
March 15th, 2011  
I like the bird photo better--lol. Great find, I'm sure this little guy loves all the fries that get dropped
March 15th, 2011  
@wac Wendy, I would love that. Thank you..
March 15th, 2011  
@clarissajohal I imagine they all have high cholesterol.
March 15th, 2011  
March 15th, 2011  
Great shot -- the detail is what makes it so special!
March 15th, 2011

March 16th, 2011  
Wow - this MacDonalds bird has been nearly as popular as the fries! Haven't ever noticed anything photo- worthy at my fast food drive through, but I'd better start opening my eyes.
March 16th, 2011  
It's Mrs Spikky Sparrow! She's utterly adorable! Very nice shot :-)
