Two more from the "natural" feeder. I finally nailed the downy woodpecker and hope to get even better with a brighter day. Also got a Goldfinch.

    Nice! The first looks a tad soft but the second is nice and crisp.

    Thank you. The downy moved. It is also a pretty serious crop. :uhoh All other images with the "natural" feeder have been full frame without any cropping.

    Here is another goldfinch shot today.

    Nice captures Dixie. That Golfinch is sweet. The woodpecker is nice too, but as you mentioned some better lighting will really make it shine.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
