Beautiful!

Thanks Jim! I hope to get better shots as they become more comfortable with me being around.

such a cute little one ;i)))

I've often heard them but have never seen one....nice shot!

lovely!!!!

for me this is beautiful enough....i know how hard it is to capture birds...

Thanks!

I'm hoping to be able to catch a pileated woodpecker one of these days. they are about 2x as large.

cool! which lens do you use for birds shots?

I've been using the Canon 100-400L @400mm What a great (if not a bit expensive) lens!

well...i don't have a Canon but Nikon200 and my longest lens is 70-300mm not long enough huh?

Before the 1-4 I had shot a lot of birds with the 100-300 (before it died). It works well too. The big difference I found was that my 1-3 was "consumer grade" and the 1-4 is "pro grade". MUCH, MUCH sharper images, so that even if you have to crop, the shot is still very sharp.

I see...I've checked your photos in Online magazine from the link you posted in one of the forums...I must say the quality are really PRO!!! I wonder if you ever have make money to one of your photos..

[blush] Thanks. Remember - I picked my absolute best shots from the 1000's that I've taken :) Never sold a single print. I've made 24x36 for relatives for Christmas gifts though.

WONDERFUL¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Nice shot !!

Wonderful capture!:)

Good for you! I put up a suet feeder a few weeks back and have yet to get anyone feeding on it! I wonder if it's the suet. Which blend are you using or are you making your own. That's next around here! :)
Great shot, too!
I agree with you on the lenses, too. When I got my pro...my shots really improved.

I don't recall the brand. The Suet is "nut and berry crunch" or some such. It had a picture of a woodpecker... All the little chickadees/juncos etc also pop in for a quick grab as well but they don't stay on the feeder... in and out.
