scyrene, V nice. I don't recall them from before.

Strange, first click and I got an enlargement. Went back to repeat and nothing happens and if I "view image" it's just a smallish square with no enlargement??

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!!

Nice photo lion rock, and I like photographing crows occasionally too. It's not the easiest thing to get a good photo of them!

Talys, they are very intelligent birds. Hard to approach.
BTW - I love your second photo on the previous page!

Not a great shot, but all the woodpecker talk made me want to track my local Hairy Woodpecker. She was shy and stayed high up in the trees, but another species to add to our thread!

Clbayley, she may stayed high up but as usually you made good job! And yeah - more species - more fun !

Thanks! Not sure why you're having a problem, sorry :/

Please correct me if I've posted these before. Here are some birds from March. A couple of siskins, a reed bunting, and a redpoll. The first two with the 5DS, the second two with the 5D3, all with the 500L, handheld, f/4.

Nice pictures scyrene, my favorite is the first one. On other hand, I really don't recall any male redpoll from the Jack's series (but could be wrong)...

Hey Jack, I didn't have difficulties with the magnification of these photos, what's the problem?

Just now after opening the thread I clicked the pictures and enlargements appeared so ??

Here is one of my Redpoll males, assuming it is based on (light) red breast. And a recent fight scene - of course the ladies are the more aggressive.

I am really starting to love the Redpolls!

But I got another chickadee today, it found a late winter snack in the bush.

Thanks Talys.
Crows are not colorful, but they're very smart. I have another shot of it, and I was sure it was trying to make a face at me, telling me to get lost!
It was very mild yesterday when I shot the photo, not so today, chilly and windy.

Hi Jack,
The flowers sure dress it up.

I think I have just seen an elegant crow.

Beautiful redpolls. They're cute.

clbayley,
Good shot of chickadee. They're noisy little guys.

Jack, fantastic photos of redpolls. The second one, with them interacting, is my favorite.

clbayley - very crisp chickadee with a cute little niblet in their mouth!

Nicely done, and thanks for sharing, guys!

 

[Jack Douglas]

Thanks Talys and Riley. CL, when you've got lighting like that the chickadee is a great subject. When almost all we have is Redpolls we haven't much choice but to like them. My latest distraction is 8 deer that are visiting my yard every night and sometimes in the day, even. I was even able to get some video of them with my Crane 2 for practice - most are young and female.

Jack,
Venison! Venison!!

Riley, big fine big fine. How could I eat my friends?! They look me straight in the eyes from about 10 feet (through a window but they are still well aware of me). Moose meat is far better in case you're visiting Banff sometime.

Nice shots, all of you!

Great exposure on the chickadee Jack, crisp indeed. Enjoying the redpoll's as well.
