Ahhh Bill, now that is a tough call after reading that article, I think you're right, it's a female RWBB.

Per Joel's suggestion - I tried again (this time in CS6) to remove the OF branch in the Gold Finch, but it still looked horrible. I ended up averaging the background to remove the band left behind in the back ground, but then I lost the sharpness around the beak. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I use the clone stamp tool with very small size at first to separate the out of focus branch from the one in focus. then make the brush larger and reduce the opacity to gradually paint away the remaining areas and try to blend them with the BG. Then I go over that with the paint brush at a reduced opacity to further blend it inOriginally Posted by conropl
Wow... thank you very much. I will work on it. I appreciate the advice.
I am w/o a camera for a while, so I should have some time to finally sit at the computer and get through some RAW images that have been left unattended for far to long.

male Ruby-throated HB
I was having coffee one morning before the sun got above the trees and it was a bit overcast - a RBT HB was visiting the feeder next to our porch, the throat was pitch black, then as the sun started to shine "poof" ruby! Would have made a great video, but as I said, I was drinking coffee and the brain cells were just starting to spin up.
If you see me with a wrench, call 911
Bill, nice pose, great details and colors.

Beautiful capture of a beautiful bird Nate.....interesting origin. I'll have to do a little research to see how they arrived in the states.
