small yellow bird

not sure what version of bird this is, it makes a nice chirping / singing

sound

And a cute little guy he is.  I suspect he is male because most birds decorate the male and camoflouge the female - sort of backward to the way people do it.  If you have many birds in your area, purchasing a local bird ID book can be useful. Most bookstores carry them.  One great thing about birds is that they have officially recognized common names, so one does not need to memorize Latin words to name them.

Your composition is fine (rule of thirds?), however I would suggest using a smaller f/stop to get greater depth of field and image sharpness.

This was shot at the maximum 1440mm zoom my camera has, as a result the best fstop was 6.5.... I used 7 fps burst mode; handheld... I bought a monopod to help but most time birds move so quick you just have to take the shot and hope for the best!

You have to work with what the equipment will allow. Overall I am very pleased with the results from a $450 point and shoot camera.  Nikon Coolpix P600

Yours here looks very much like one that I had a shot of and had asked for identification help.

Best I could come up with was a Warbler but the jury is still out on exactly which one I think.

They certainly do like to sing!

Great shot for $450.00 worth of gear!

Cheers & Regars always,
