Have this little bird too from Costa Rica, Yellow TyrannuletLot's of great threads on Hawks, Owls,Eagles and the big guys but if you're like me you have plenty of file images of small birds like: finches, sparrows, wrens, warblers, flycatchers and the like. Thought it might be nice to start an ongoing thread for sharing photos of the little guys.
Here's a House Wren that I didn't expect. I was shooting Cedar Waxwings and a King Fisher from a blind along a small stream when this guy jumped up on a nice perch in decent light.

Anyone else want to share images of songbirds and the like?
This Mountain Chickadee was kind enough to drop by for some portraits this afternoon.

My wife calls them the Mohawk Chickadees to differentiate them from the Black Capped.Your Mountain Chickadees have bigger eyebrows than our Sierra Nevada/Cascades birds!

Thanks Ralph. There were 5 or 6 of them hopping around on the ground under this tree. One flew up, landed on the branch just long enough for me to grab focus and fire a shot. The shot right after this one was of an empty stick where a towhee used to be. Far more luck than skill in getting this one.Excellent Shot! Very unusual to see them perched.

Nice catch!Red-backed shrike.
The image was actually taken in May of this year, but I somehow managed to overlook it until now
