I'd love a Northern Cardinal. I captured a Lesser Redpoll on Thursday, which does have red on her head.

Nice shots. Looks much like our common redpoll, which for some reason haven't been around much. Hasn't been a great year in many respects. At least you're not in snow like us today!

Weekend casual shots.
A pair of Merganser Ducks engaged in courtship rituals. The male duck is elegantly pulling the crest of the female and she is showing her pretty face.

Cool down Jack - he is just a hairstylist!

Yes, he did pull her hair 2-3 times and finally she gave up!!

My TC-14E III arrived and I took a day off to check how it works for me. I think I will keep it - not permanently installed but in case I have no reasonable reach to the object. No surprises - it has it's advantages and the known disadvantages. No AF fine-tuning for now, later I will try it too...

Been working some more on the bird photography. Really enjoying learning about our local PNW natives. A couple of Black Capped Chikadee shots below.

Cormorants are fascinating birds. I still remember my delight at seeing for the first time one drying its wings in the sun. Here are a couple of shots with the 100-500mm + 1.4xTC on the R5.
