I chose ISO 800 because it was needed in the light. The sun was still low and the shadow side of the bird was still a bit dark. I was hand holding so I needed sufficient shutter speed to for sharpness. 800 worked. Were it bright enough I would have preferred a lower ISO.

He looks rather full of himself, was he posing for the camera? I noticed that you were at ISO800, was that intentional to soften the result with a bit of 'grain'?

The birds are back! It was a gorgeous, sunny morning but quite cool, right around the freezing mark. This little tree swallow was less than thrilled with that crisp air: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2013/04/cold-spring-morning.html?m=1 Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.
