Hi!
Thankfully, this shot didn't harm anything.
Birds jaunt from a tree outside my window to a feeder on my porch. Your
photos have inspired me to take some of my own! Thanks!

This shot was accidentally taken with EV -1.3. I rescued it a bit, but
there is some colour noise that I'm not happy with. The photos were
also taken through glass (2 panes).

1/1250!)
Michael, it seems to me that your Sigma APO lens has rather harsh bokeh.
And of course addition of two pane window (glass?) does not help. My
humble suggestion is to try to look for less cluttered backgrounds... I
realize it not readily there and often very difficult to get, but for
the first shot, for example, the bird almost blends with the rest of the
picture. I guess it is natural for birds to blend. I also guess it would
be natural for photographers to do the opposite ;-).
Please take my comment with grain of salt, I often suffer from the same
very issue.
