"Meadow Bird II" Photo

Photographer’s Note

As Paul (PJE) and Phil (DYERCO) pointed out in my previous shot of 'Meadow Bird', this is a Whiskey Jack. Photographed at 'Meadows in the Sky Parkway', just outside Revelstoke, BC.

These opportunistic little birds have become quite tame as they know that with visitors often comes food. Hopefully the bears are not making the same assumption!

I hope you like it!

Hello Dan,
A cute birdie among a beautiful ambient!
Great composition - the meadow bird is adequately positioned to catch one eyes attention!
Good lighting and sharpness are there!
Well done. Regards.

Hi Dan
Excellent detail in this little guy. I like how you captured some of his favourite surroundings.
