Not a new species, although that would be great :wink:
Pine Siskin perched in our Redbud tree. No blooms as yet, just a lot of leaves..
F/8, 1/320th, ISO 640, 1D M3, 300mm f/2.8 + 1.4x around 9:00am and overcast.

Good subtle yellow color on this siskin and the greens and reds are great additions. The angle of the bird isn't great - but overall a pleasing image

I like the overall comp Howard. The leaves and the bird looking toward them makes the image for me.

Great setting Howard - reminds me of those old paintings where someone is looking seriously into the distance
