Backyard Birds

This morning dawned partly sunny and cold and I was hopeful for some good skies for landscape photos today. Alas, the overcast moved in by noon so I switched plans.

About 2 o’clock, I geared up (warm clothes, camera, tripod and chair blind) and headed out to photograph the birds by the feeders. I set up about ten feet from the feeders and made my first exposure at 2:30.

By 4 o’clock the light was gone, the temperature was dropping and I had filled a memory card. I headed back inside. Twas, an enjoyable way to spend 90 minutes.

  1. Love the white breasted nuthatch #3. What are they eating?

  2. Frank, these are amazing! your attention to detail was spot on! My favorite was the tufted titmouse. The bird was sharp throughout and even the branch was detailed. Nice effect with the background as its color really supported the feathered wonder.
    However, the rest were a very close second.
