What a wonderful start you've made to your Gallery with this lovely junco image OD .

Quite an unusual angle too... I hope we may be able to see some more of your pictures.

Thank you! It was quite a lucky shot. The bird had landed on my roof only 7 feet away from my tripod. I thought the angle would look interesting compared to a flat shot. I am taking a trip down to Ballona Freshwater Marsh tomorrow and plan to take a lot of photos. Hoping to check off a bunch of lifers there.
