A wonderful picture of one of my favorite birds-and captured in such a great, natural setting. I get bunches of them at my seed socks and they are always such fun to watch. What lens were you using?

Hi, Angela, this was taken with the ZD 70-300mm. The bird was so intent on eating, he let me get quite close - this is uncropped!

Wonderful natural environment of this bird among the milkweed captured with excellent color and fine detail work! Congratulations on your POTD!
