"One of our favorite backyard birds is the eastern phoebe, whose curiosity and fearlessness has allowed for many close encounters," writes Georgia resident and regular Birding Wire photo contributor, Ken Dunwoody. "This one would perch just a few yards away from us when we raked the yard, probably hoping we'd uncover something edible." Info: Nikon D7000 camera, Nikkor 70-300 4.5/5.6 lens, ISO 1000, aperture f/5, shutter 1/640.
