Stewart M said...: Great picture - apart from the bird I like the way the clumps of (?) moss lead your eye into the picture.

Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW

Richard Pegler said...: Nice one Steve! Was this image taken recently? Juicy pink berries like those in your picture would have been long-gone in UK, devoured by Thrushes and Waxwings!; February 6, 2013 at 5:42 AM
Steve Borichevsky said...: Thanks for all the comments. The bird is sitting in a pepper tree. Those are ripened pepper berries that are in the background.

I shot this bird in San Jose, California. This is on the opposite side of the contenent from where I am.

We get out that way a couple of times per year. It makes it nice because I can do a lot of photography and it helps me get through the boaring stick season of January and February here in New England.

Cheers!; February 6, 2013 at 8:41 AM

Jackie said...: I use to live in Maine and I was thinking wow you guys are having a mild winter. Then I read your reply to Jenny.

No matter where you took the photo it is a wonderful shot. The bird is lovely and the composition is great.

I agree with Jenny about the deep color of the bird against the lovely colors in the back ground!

Great job. I enjoyed this very much! I am a newbie and am loving learning all about birds!

Happy hunting!; February 6, 2013 at 12:47 PM
