Too close for comfort.

A chance meeting in the back yard.

Great shot. Lucky catch too!

Thanks. This is my first upload to photo.net, and since everyone loves a baby bird, this shot was chosen. I would have liked to fill the frame a little more, but the E-10 was all I had on hand, and the little bird was pretty nervious. I wouldn't have seen it had it's parents not have been flying around the fence in the process of feeding it. It probably had just left its nest. It couldn't fly. I didn't like bothering it too much, so I got off a couple of quick shots, and then left it alone.

Very nice photo. The vulnerability of the young bird is enhanced by being partly hidden. Fortunately, it also has a naturally down-turned mouth that makes it look even more lost and forelorn.
