Would suggest that this one is the better of the two, Rick - the upright suits the subject - which looks less fuzzy, but wonder why the bird is so low and did you decide such a dark background was an advantage.
As it's an American boid, you might have said what it is !

I really have no idea what type of bird this is...? it's a Finch,or a Robin Cardinal ?
I need more practice with the Canon to overcome it's weakness's
Does anyone recognize this species of bird;?

Glenn I'm not all that pleased with my technique here. I tried to make a fuzzy shot clear. I will be ready next time he visits the neighborhood.
The Image stabilization system could not overcome my shakey hand at 32x zoom haha.

Thanks for stopping by, the feeback is valuable.

Improved positioning - to my mind.

The beak suggests a finch but the colouring is something we don't have in this part of the world - as far as I know. Bit curious, I must admit

This looks like a Purple Finch (yes, they are red). It looks like this was taken with a digital zoom, hence the reason it isn't clear. I have had that problem when I have zoomed in on birds with my digital zoom.
