Wow, how do you get so close to the birds like that?! Especially with a 200mm lens!

You must've had a bird feeder nearby! Great shot!

You have to be very patient.

And very quiet! We're gonna hafta start calling you Eddy Stealth inGA

Great shot Eddy, I really enjoy the composition. I'm not a birder, so for me the sharp capture of a bird is nice, but I'm more concerned with the over look of the image. And that is one fine image. Definitely suitable for a spot on the wall.
