Hi Bob,

My son and I have the same conversations. We're probably wrong most of the time but we think we know when it is a return visitor or a newcomer. Nice of him to pose like this for you with his mouth full of seeds. A good bird shot with natural colors and good details of his face and plummage.

Given the same conditions and the same bird, the chances are that the feet are planted in the same way. I've noticed this on our feeders, Bob.
But what I like about this image is the action of the two mandibles and tongue working away at the seed in this head-on view of a Pine Siskin, easier to observe than photograph.
TFS this fine image,
And my best wishes to Jane!

Hello Bob
Ivan is right about the feet..The more you observe the birds the more you understand they are creatures of habit..That said this is a very very impressive capture with immaculate sharpness and lovely front on look chewing your hard earned seed!!
I set you a challenge Bob..The birds have to land at your feeder. capture one inflight landing..I see you have enough light to get a proper fast shutter which you could cut down to poss 300 and drop the iso a bit...Theres a hint..Will you take the challenge!!??
All the Best to you and Jane

Ah, hah! Caught yourself in a lie, did you? Now you are in trouble. Guess this means you can kiss off becoming President of the United States this election cycle. ;)

It's so nice to know I'm not the only one that chews with my mouth open! Seriously, nice image, very close up, and I love the texture of his feathers, not to mention his look. Awesome composition - but that's nothing new! Looking at this makes me laugh, and as always, wonderful notes.

Superb photo Bob,
Extremely sharp and great colours. This is the kind of image that makes you just want to gaze at, and enjoy it's beauty. Well done!!
I just posted one tonight that didn't look all that bad until I downloaded it to the site, since I couldn't figure out how to remove it, I had to leave it up.

I think he's going to spit out his mouthful at you Bob...
Good shot - you show it so closely and the colours, feather details, and pose are all great.
And I believe Jane

Hi Bob,
obviously nobody has taught this Siskin any manners about eating with your mouth closed ;o) Anyway, despite this social faux pas, a very good shot indeed! That bright light has enabled you to get a fast shutter speed and some very sharp detail. Great timing too, well done.

Hi Bob.
What a superb close-up taken with lovely Sigma lens. All is great even ISO 800 :). Terrific details and sharpness of the bird and its food. Great sunlight and colours. BG cannot be better. Pose and glance of the bird are amazing too. Bravo. Perfect shot and perfect story.
