Redbirds

7 comments:
 

I hope everyone saw my post on Monday and visited Pam.  Today I want to invite you to visit Olga.  It's never a surprise if I post a photo of a bird but you never know what you're going to get from Olga.  She always has a camera with her and and gets a great variety of shots.  So follow this link and leave a comment for her.


I'm really hoping to get a shot of a dark eyed junco on my perch but they prefer the ground.  Today I was staring at one, trying to move him up to the perch with my mind when a cardinal landed on the tripod handle that's holding the stick.  He did move out to the perch but the "pose" is better on the tripod handle.



Normally I'm happy to get a house finch because they are a little more colorful than the sparrows but they pale in comparison to the cardinals.

Hey Matt nice shots. I have a beautiful red cardinal that visits my back yard on a regular bases. I have been trying to photograph him for some time now. Hes just so skiddish, every time he hears me open the back door hes out of there. Hense the black and white bird pic on Friday and the Ducks on Saturday. LOL my longest lens is only 200 so it is hard for me to get too close.

De nada. Hay muchas grupos pequenos que siguen each other, como tu y Pam. (Yo no se como decir "each other") Espero que hacer el grupo mas grande. Vamos a ver.

Pam, it's tough to get close to them with out a blind. I have a small hunting blind, just a pop up tent that I sit in and wait for them to come to my feeder.

Each other = "Mutuamente" or "entre si" or "los unos a los otros".
En este caso mutuamente funciona bien.

Es una buena idea tener un grupo mas grande!

These shots are great, Matt! I was spying on a cardinal today and wondering if I could grab a shot of him. I think I'd need to camp out in the back yard to get a shot of him.

They're still my favorite bird even though they are fairly common. Can't beat the bright red.
