Couple of birds + monarch

troglodite

I cheated, I found an avian observatory at my local bird conservation center.

They have a lot of thick brush about so it's hard to get any that are not on the feeders... Oh well, I still like this one.




blue jay - cropped a bit and shows that I need a better lens...


and the monarch, got this one while waiting for the birds to forget I was there.

Three good shots. They are well composed and have fien details and color. Excellent work.

I wish I could get a decent shot of a Blue Jay. (not yet!)

Try to see where the birds perch while they wait their turn to feed, if possible.

Nice shots, all.

Great captures!

Try to capture the (a) bird comming toward the feeder or flying away from it and a Tripod + Manual focus + Patience can make it all happen.

Hope to see more from you soon.

Thanks for sharing.

Dick.
