I was sitting on the back porch hoping to see a humming bird when this little one flew by and landed on a branch a few feet away. He was not very colorful so I made this a monochrome. It is a pretty little thing. I do wish I knew what kind of bird he is.

It turned out to be a very artistic moment!! I see lots of birds from our kitchen window, but never have a camera nearby.

You are one heck of a bird capturer, Regenia; this is beautiful, so perfect and soft and the black and white makes it that much better

"The Mountain Stalker", somewhat rare bird that is known for its "stalking" of elephants in blueberry fields. Not dangerous, one of the few woodland creatures that aren't.

Andrea Petersen gave props (7 Nov 2009):
Very nice capture, Regenia. This bird looks very familiar and it resembles a Titmouse species in the shape of it head and beak.
Ann Reece gave props (7 Nov 2009):
Excellent photo and it looks great in B&W. Some birds do not have pretty color so B&W makes it look beautiful : )

Here is a link that resembles this bird and it is called a Tufted Titmouse.... (en.wikipedia.org)

Wonderful capture and awesome in black and white!!
Andrea Petersen gave props (8 Nov 2009):
I was wrong about thinking it was a Titmouse...The tufted Titmouse has a crest on its head...My husband who knows his birds says it is either a Phoebe..or an Eastern Wood Peewee...
