Prairie Blue Bird

This little guy sat still just long enough for me to park and snap a photo or two. He was sitting on a gate post in the prairie lands near my home. The colored background is a row of trees with different colored leaves. I just like the color of the bird against the background.
Canon T5i
Sigma 150-600 propped on a car window A 485mm.
F7.1 Shutter 1/320 ISO 800
As always comments are welcome. I have a lot to learn.
Thank you for taking a look.

Brian

Beautiful, bright bird in a nice pose. Hard to see detail with only a small image, though.

Nice pose and positioning and agree the bird's bright colors against green BG makes image very appealing.  Has a bit of that angry bird stare!

Brian, great image with lots of good color and lighting.  I like the soft background too.
