My name is Susan Marquardt. This photo was taken in my backyard in Oceanside, CA with a Cannon EOS 10D. These Black Phoebe fledglings made a cozy group atop my son's basketball hoop waiting for meal worm deliveries from their mom. I feed meal worms to birds every day and this gave me the opportunity to get up close and personal to this adorable family! I am thrilled to have been awarded the Mark of Excellence, thank you so much!
