Siskin on the snow

One of the pine siskins, poking through the fallen thistle-seed husks for an unhulled one. (There being at that time quite some number of goldfinches on the finch feeder...)

A good demonstration of the very narrow depth of field with the 800mm mirror lens; a teeny bird with its tail feathers in focus and its head not.
