Description
Hiking in Arches National Park, just outside Moab Utah.
I was taking pictures of that dead tree against the rock, and on the left-hand side of my screen I kept seeing this weird blurry thing. Upon further investigation, I discovered a bird sitting on a slender stem in the foreground!
Change focal point. Reshoot. Sheesh! No wonder I never get shots of birds ... I apparently don't see them! LOL!
It's a very small bird. You might want to zoom.

Very cool capture
Wow, Tara! Well done!
That tree is cool. I think you would get some good photos of it. Bird is cute.
Superb capture Tara. God bless.
Well, well, well! Excellent work Tara... I love the background and also cannot wait to see the photo of the tree!
This bird is very small indeed! Cool shot!
I usually scare them away from noise of shuffling my feet very nice shot
yes birds are hard at times and they do fly away before you get a shot in
Good Eyes :) Nice shot. Aloha
Fabulous capture !!!!
Did see it and did zoom, nice little bird.
What a great shot! And the bird makes the picture alive....super. Tara, thank you for your attention. By the way, my favorite picture I have also caught on our trip (not just 1 old car - a whole Junkyard .... I'm happy. The pictures of it but only come in some time.)
The clarity in that bird... amazing. ZOOM a must. Well done.
Is worth two in the hand? No, that's backwards. Nice catch. The slight blur in the background really puts the focus on the bird.
Nice little guy in a dry place :)
How cute he/she is. :)))))) You captured this bird very nicely. :)))))) Most excellent capture my friend. :))))) Love the background. :))))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see. :)))) Carry A Sunshine Smile In Your Heart :))))))
Where's the other one? LOL
nicely done
Great pic and a very good eye to spot it as well Hugs Susan
Tara, this is really a great picture: POV, composition, bird capture... Bravissima
A wonderful find and capture, dear Tara. Hugs. Di. xx
Remarkable how it can support itself on the grasses like that, must be such a light weight. Excellent shot Tara!
Fantastic focusing, the bird is perfectly sharp against the background! He was probably wondering what you were looking at. They're often quite curious about our clicking black boxes!
YAY! Well captured, Tara :-)
Keep your eye on the sparrow!
A bird in the bush is worth three in the hand...... wait a minute – that's not right.... Oh well, it's a great capture anyway, Tara!
Birds! They are such skittish models! You got this one perfectly and I like the fact that there's no overt center in this image. Everything happens in soft focus on near the right/left borders of the image, which gives a great visual tension; there's nice business centered in this shot, but it's the edge tension that really brings the whole thing together! Excellently done...and you got a birdie too! Oh, and speaking of birds, did you know that grackles are among the few small birds that walk rather than hop? I saw grackles today...they were being...um...well...very, very busy.
that is rugged terrain.
I definitely encourage a Zoom on this one. Great shot Tara.
A cutie...:)
