Slate colored junco? Maybe? But definitely on a fruitless plumb tree. But don't tell the bird that because it looks like there is plenty to eat from it.

If I could only get all the little ones that visit the neighbor's back yard to pose on that little twig. A great juncture of color and angles which also provide a nice bokeh due to distance from the tree.

Beautiful Otto!👍👍
 
That was one of three of 400 images. Pretty much all in focus but too busy backgrounds then it jumped to that area and the magic began to unfold. So really 1 in 400. Thanks for viewing!
That’s all you need is the one shot that matters! Persistence!👍👍
 
Spring is in the air but there's still plenty of snow on the ground and though a few new arrivals are showing up at the feeders it's still mostly the usual supects, Chickadees and House Sparrows. I've got way too many Mountain Chickadee portraits but I decided to play around with different perches and looser framing for a different look and placed one of my favorite old snag perches out in the snow on the back porch with a plate of seed down in front of it. Didn't take long for the birds to find it and drop in for some photos like this Mountain Chickadee. I liked the way the afternoon light coming in from the left side of the frame hit the perch and the subject.

Nikon D5, 300mm PF, f/5, 1/1250", ISO 500
