There is a pair in the neighborhood, and occasionally one can be seen having a snack at one of the feeders.

Those pesky bright whites can be a problem for me too. Whenever I have the time to, I'll take a few exposures w/o being concerned about composition, check the histogram for clipping, and adjust exposure as required. Or I'll watch for the posture that hides most of the white. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
