Imaginative title, huh?

I was out taking pictures for an insurance claim and saw this bird, I took as many pictures of it as I could before some kid on a skateboard whizzed by and scared it off (By the way, at that exact moment my frustration at the kid made me realise just how old I am

)
I learned that telephoto zooms are good for bird photos, and even though you have a telephoto zoom, you still have to be close to the bird in order to see anything, I was about 5 feet away at 200mm and I didn't get a whole lot in the viewfinder. Probably because of the tiny size of the bird.

Love the Bokeh. Great focus too, it's a really nice shot. Do you have the EXIF data by chance?
