Escapee *

Biwabik, Minnesota, USA

This parrot named Sanchez got out and flew up in a tree about a block away and has been up there since yesterday. He talks, squaks and whistles and is quite a sight not often seen in Minnesota, although we have had temperatures in the 90's the last few days. His owner winters in Florida and summers in Minnesota and says that Sanchez stayed up a tree for five days the last time he escaped.

1/125s f/5.6 at 700.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Perfecto Kev:-) The foreground OOF leaves being in shade are no distraction at all & this really works a treat. Great shot mate:-)

Beautiful shot. Great colors, a rare photographic opportunity (especially in Minnesota), and you nailed the DOF challenge to boot.
