Thanks for all the great comments,it was good to see him fly off and return a bit later to feed on the suet again.There is really no secret to catching them Ann,you just calmly and slowly walk up to them and pick them up being very careful with the wings because they might flap them for a while.Once they calm down,you can open your hand and they will stay a few minutes.

Great shot. Why is it in the palm of your hand. Is it injured?

Great capture, Whittler. I'd like to know your trick to get the little birds to land on your hand. A very enjoyable photograph to view.

You cleaned the windows again didn't you....lol. Well, looks like he is going to recover just fine. Another cool hand held bird capture Alex! Don
