Another one of those birds I had to rescue from our porch even though one side is open.

Thanks Bob for your commentI sure was glad I had that S5IS hanging around my neck when I went outside. Fortunately I already had it set on the aperature priority so I didn't have to change any settings with a bird in one hand and the camera in the other.LOL

WOW!! thanks for all the great comments,I found this little guy on my porch this morning .He had hit one of the windows and was on the floor.I picked him up and kept him warmfor about 15 minutes.I just happened to have my camera with me.After he had regained his composure,he sat in my hand for about 5 minutes longer so I could get a few shots of him and then he flew off.I guess he knew he was in good hands.

So nice to view, Whittler. Boy I sure don't know how you got this

capture, but it's wonderful. The clarity and composition are very

well done.

WOW!! What a wonderful photo and experiance... I don't think you will ever forget this :) It must have recognized you as a friend who feeds him, and with it so cold figured it was going to get warm or die trying LOL...

Great shot, sharp focus and good DOF. And good composure on your part, just to get the shot! We sometimes get chickadees to take seed from our hands, but they're usually there and gone in milliseconds.

Nice experience - how'd you get him to sit there?
