Blue Grosbeak by aecasey

Blue Grosbeak

The blue grosbeak spends his days in the lilacs in the back yard. He is fascinated with the south window. He frequently perches on the windowsill knocking on the window trying to get in. From his point of view, it is a dark corner filled with foliage. That just a reflection, but to him it looks incredibly inviting and he just can't understand why he can't get in. His confusion and persistence provide me with loads of time to see this beautiful fellow.
Wonderful capture

Hi April, how about filling the frame with texture, grunge and patina of man-made surfaces to create an abstract . I got this idea when i saw this photo by one of my favorites on instagram, Charles used to be on 365 https://www.instagram.com/p/CgHE6hyuNtJ/

What a great shot of this beautiful bird. What mode do you shoot your birds in April, they are all so perfect?

@ludwigsdiana Thank you ... I rely on Av. My zoom lens doesn't open any wider than f5.6 so I'm usually in that area of f-stop. I do use one focal point, and I try to train that on the eye if at all possible. I've set my single point pretty much dead center. Other than that, it's multiple shots and searching for my sharpest image.

poor bird. I hope one day he is going to figure it out.
