Upside down birds

Common red polls are common to Glacier, but can be tough to photograph, namely because they're usually fairly high in the trees, they're small, and they're transients — here one day, gone the next. They're a beautiful bird and the other day I simply lucked out. This one bird was busy feeding in an alder bush and was acclimated. I spent roughly two hours taking eight gigs worth of photos. I always like to try to get songbirds upside down. They do it far more than you'd think.
