Common Redpolls have irrupted from the north this year, and have begun to show up in big numbers. I had 4 at my backyard feeders yesterday, and one teed up right in front of my dining room window. Unfortunately, I caught a nasty glare that covered most of the bird, but I was able to save the image in CS6. I used Viveza 2 to increase the contrast on the bird and then did a color balance adjustment in the layers panel. All in all, I’m pretty pleased with the shot.
Great shot, what type of feed attracts Redpolls?
Thistle seed is the best, but they will occasionally got to sunflower seeds
