Several months ago, I did one of my favorite things…I grabbed my camera and went for a walk. It was a nice winter day with no sun, which I like because I don’t have to worry about shadows.
As I walked by a roadway which dived down into the dry canyon which runs through town, I noticed a flock of small birds flitting about halfway down the road. So I headed in that direction.
As I stood watching the small, gray birds fly from here to there, I raised my camera and began shooting images.
I shot a total of about 40 images and the one below is the best of group. It shows a female Bushtit. How do I know it is a female? The bird has yellow eyes.

They are cute birds, great capture!
So only the female has yellow eyes? How interesting!
Amazing catch and love it when I learn something new!
Sweet shot and those eyes are really something special.
Lovely photo!
If speaking to my delinquents in the "cellblock" at our middle school school, I would have to be VERY careful in my pronunciation of this name. Those kids can distort about anything I say. and would burst into laughter and snickers. Love the shot. It is so "real life in nature" looking. genie
Lovely capture!
