Earlier in the week, I put out the bird feeder (both seeds and suet) in hopes of attracting photographic subjects. I need to take it in every night to avoid attracting bears… I have only forgotten once so far!
It took a few days for the birds to find the feeder but by this morning things were hopping! Thus, after I finished a few chores, I headed out to get some practice with my new photographic tool*.
In addition to the four species (junco, chickadee, gold finch, and white-throated sparrow) I photographed, there were two other species (nuthatches and a downy woodpecker) that I did not get good photos of.

*All of these photos were taken with my new-to-me Nikkor 600 mm f/4 lens. Joan says “toy” but I am sticking with “tool”!
Frank, the new lens has taken some great shots. I can only see amazing images from your toy, er tool.
You should hook up with Rich and Ted Mertz of SBCC, they are heading out to Utah to shoot the eagles. You have the time and the tool!
