Upside down birds

red poll upside down

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.
