Ok, so maybe not a real popular, or well known, or even active member, but...Hey! it's a real registered username! So anyways, here's the deal. A while back I was out to my mom's place, with my camera of course, and we were sitting out on her deck, and they had a birdfeeder out, and these goldfinches were going wild on it. So, I wanted to get some shots, but not any shots, I set up the cam on my tripod real close, with my 105 macro, and put on my remote release, got ready and....the battery in the remote was dead! So, instead of waiting for another trip out to mom's, I bought several feeders and put them up in my yard. Well, I've been haveing a lot of fun shooting them. A lot of the little guys seem to even have gotten used to the shutter click, although, in burst, the 9fps still kind of spooks 'em. :-) But anyways, I've been wanting to enter my birds in a challenge, and had to search the username base, but figured this would work. I've got better shots, but not this week, I've had limited time and some rainy weather, so I'm just going with this Lesser Goldfinch for now. Thanks for checking out my pic! :-)

I gave this a 5. Thought it did kind of fit. Looking now in retrospect, pretty clever for this songbird to sing with its mouth full...
