Bird Watching Daily Pics Vol. 312

Nice shots of the White-throated Sparrow and Red-winged Blackbird!

this shot was a little better...

Thanks, Rose, Lily and Pelle. I much preferred it when the trees weren't leaved out. Now, it's difficult to get some good shots.

But I ordered 2 of those pole feeder hanger thingees and plan to hang some of my feeders out in the sunshine, away from the shade. Each pole will hang 4 feeders.

Oh, and Lily, I don't know, technically, if a bird you saw for the first time, but didn't snap a pic of, counts or not as a Lifer. For me, I'd want a pic for the memory of the experience, but I think I'd still count it as a Lifer.

Burd_Fotos - Bummer - Field Sparrow that got deleted. However, your pic (400mm) of the White-throated Sparrow is super! But your 1st one is really nice, too.

the sun-light only lasted about an hour and half before heavy fog coming off the lake took over...

Last shot from the marsh...400mm with the 1.4 converter...more light might have made this shot sharper but...

Thanks Pelle and Hack. three shots from the backyard...Cardinal

Burd_Fotos - The 400mm with the 1.4 converter did a good job. Did you have to use manual focus or did auto focus work with the 1.4?

sometimes my cropping is off..just call it an imax shot..lol
Female Eastern Towhee..my first time to see a female and first ever in this backyard..

Hack, I used Auto-focus for most the day.. one more of the Towhee

last shot but not a bird, 400mm with 1.4 converter...not bad but then it didn't move either.. lol

Wonderful shots Burd! Love the Great Blue Heron! Congrats on seeing the Towhee in your yard!

Congrats to all the new lifers!

great job on the towhee Burd! I was out walking sans camera saturday and I came upon a pair of towhees together and very close. I was dying that I had no camera to get the shot!

The Pileated came by both days over the weekend but decided to come around 8-8:30pm. With the rain it was to dark for photos.

But I did have a very short visit from a female Hairy Woodpecker on saturday!

She was a little soggy....

Cute ones nanny! Thanks to everyone for such an enjoyable thread!
