[Leica] IMG: Winter Birds

[Jim Nichols]

While getting accustomed to shooting with a shoulder stock and Leica 
Telyt-R 250/4, I found a couple of feathered subjects willing to pose on 
a winter day.  Both of these are heavily cropped.

Mockingbird males stay with their territory during the winter, while the 
female goes to a warmer climate.  This is our local male, high in a bare 
Cleveland pear tree.

Cardinals are present year round.  When they are "spooked", they usually 
take shelter in this Snowball bush along the fence.

Shot with my Fuji X-T2.  Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
