I love those fluffed out feathers on his chest - they really look so delicate, don't they!!

A super picture you've taken of his Mark, thanks.
 
I was filling the feeders when I had one of these take a junco right in front of me. It stayed on the ground for a minute or more, not 20 feet away....and me standing there without my camera. This is an awesome shot, well done!
 
Outstanding image! The clarity is amazing and that narrow white tip on the tail is showing well.
