One of my top songbirds, especially as the summer cools into autumn:

Thank you for the compliment. I have decent equipment, experience and an inordinate level of patience. Also, the experience portion of that equation has taught me that there is no substitute for simply getting as close as you can to your subject.

Here is one more of the same bird.
