I left this one pretty much as is, rather than cropping in on the bird, to help provide a better sense of the bird's size. And, in this case, how well it blends in with the foliage it's sitting in:
Checking out a banana tree:
A brown anole I happened to spot as I stood out on the lanai; love the curl in its tail:
Later on, while at a good friend's house for his annual Super Bowl party, I got bored by the blowout the game turned into and went outside to try and photograph some birds instead. A Northern Cardinal obliged by landing on a banana leaf fairly close to where I stood:
A Red-Crested Cardinal that didn't want to be left out of the fun:
These two didn't occupy the same leaf for very long:
After getting my host's permission, I put out some birdseed on the lanai railing, and it didn't take long to get results:
I definitely got a couple of nice closeups out of it:
Caught a bit of a tiff as well:
One of the most entertaining aspects of feeding birds is watching the Java sparrows and zebra doves jockey for position along the railing:
The zebra dove in the middle is practically standing on a Java sparrow's head:
And for my parting shot, a Java sparrow just peeking over the edge of a banana leaf:
