Bushtit Dining Out

This pretty little bird was in the middle of a bush, with its next meal in its beak. It is difficult to see, but it is clear that it is an insect of some kind. The lighting condition was not the best. Thanks to those who helped with the ID, I now know that this pretty bird is a Bushtit. I appreciate the feedback very much! I feel fortunate to get a picture of it considering its location.

Sweet little fella, Vern! Well caught too. I agree with others that you have a Bushtit here. :)

Outstanding photo. The bird and the thorny branch are pin sharp with the addition of the Bokeh bachdround, the colors are perfect.

Hey Vern, nice shot of a male Bushtit. Looks like he looks like he is collecting food. They are fast little buggers.

Very nice catch, looks like a blackberry branch, I hated those thorns! V

Was this picture taken earlier in the day? I get the sense that it is a little wet or damp.

Good catch of this tiny bird, sitting comfortably amongst the nasty looking thorns.

Excellent timing to catch the bird mid-meal, and I like that brilliant green background, too.
