Brown Thrush

In my neighbor's rose bushes. She (the bird) let me get up close for this, taken about 6 feet away with a 180mm f/2.8 Nikkor ED on a D70. I didn't have much choice in the angle, and couldn't avoid the glare on the leaves.

Lucky you and boy did you take advantage of your luck...

Great job...
