Dark-Eyed Junco

Murfreesboro,TN

These guys are fairly common here this time of year. They are a sparrow relative.

Please excuse the background: Birding works a bit better when there is LIGHT...

Shot this guy at the Stones River National Battlefield.

Canon EOS 60D ,Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM
1/640s f/4.0 at 300.0mm iso500 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Ditto what Terry and Bob said. These little birds (at least for me) are very challenging to photography because it seems like they never hold still. You got this guy at just the right moment!

Looks like our Oregon Junco. No problem w/BG but I am looking at this on a small tablet.

Cute little guys. The background is just fine....nice detail
on the bird, particularly considering the crop size.
