where have the flowers gone?

I know I am not a good bird shooter with my equipment and just thought I would take experimental shots with my new camera. But I felt like uploading this photo because this bird (Fan-tailed Warbler?) looked very lovely with its beautiful wings. It is perching on a leaf of the sunflower I shot many times this summer.
I have a set of birds. Click here if you please.

Its a wonderful shot, all well done DoF, good focus, composition and clean background. For bird shots its nice to fill the frame but often you can get much more striking images showing more of the surroundings like this shot.

Thank you for your comments.
As I do not have telephoto lenses I have long thought that it was difficult (not necessarily impossible) to take photos of birds. The other day I met a photographer (Kazushige Fukui) who have taken excellent shots of birds. I asked him if he has long telephoto lenses. His answer surprised me. He said, 'The distance between I and a bird is usually only about ten meters. If I am separated more than that I can no longer feel the breath of the bird.' I was very much encouraged by him.

So cute pose!
A friend of mine I met in Queens Botanical garden (your countryman) was bribing birds with crumbs while taking photos. I benefited with a few nice ones (lady cardinal included). That's one of ways to take pics of birds. isn't it?
