and of course, the closer look aka the Instagram crop:
Here is an example of a very cooperative songbird, at the new location that I found this past Spring. As I found out later in the season, it also happens to be a breeding spot for these species. After few visits, I was able to pinpoint favorite perches of this bird and focus my camera on the perch that offers the most pleasing background. At that point, it was a matter of simply waiting for the bird to land on it and pressing the shutter button. I hope you like the result!
