Description Hi, HAPPY EASTER YOU ALL!!!
 I went out for a bit this morning. As I was coming out of the farm, I spotted this one, as it was feeding along the dirt driveway entrance.This is the first one I have seen this year...Enjoy!

This shot shows why I shoot most of my pictures of birds at F8 or F7. The background is well out of focus and doesn't detract from the subject. You can't even recognize the stone wall and the dirt of the driveway surface. Just thought I'd throw this little tip out there for you all.
