Nice capture, Steven. I like how it matches with the reddish branches.

Thanks Woody!

Steven - these hop, skip and jump action sometimes give such stunning results, like here. great when that happens and one is fast enough on the shutter!

Nice capture, Steven. I like how it matches with the reddish branches.

Thanks Kirk. And yah, purely chance the colour match; ditto how the lines of the thin dogwood branches mirror the lines of the tail feathers, me thinks!

Yes, similar angles here and there, actually. The angle of the legs, the head tilt, the angle the bird is coming down.

Wonderfully done Steven, love the complementary foliage too.

Thanks. And hooray for 20 fps

Good eye. I speak math so poorly that I rarely see such angles, but definitely 'feel' them when viewing photos!

And I will smother my green face . . . in my trusty old DSRL's

Great photo!

Great shot! I'm noticing that since the change to 15-20 fps and brighter lenses, I discover birds jumping and diving from branch to branch when I upload to LRC. I would probably jump more, too, if I weighed less than an ounce.

I love levitating birds. The Gilded Flickers do it a lot around here.

Thanks, and yup it's gotta all be low impact work for birds
