Chickadees and Goldfinches
I took this one a few days ago and I kinda like it.
These were taken last fall and are two of my favorite Chickadee photos. If you would like to hear the Chickadee, click here.
The yellow bird posted a couple of days ago is an American Goldfinch. And he was still around the next day.
I hope to eventually get a decent shot of these colorful birds. You can hear his song here.
Thanks for the lesson! I always forget the chickadees are chickadees. Just
can't remember a face, I guess.
The Chickadee looks very similar to what we call a Coal Tit here in the UK
beautiful pictures. They make me want to go out in the woods and find birds
to photograph. Here in northern minnesota we have mostly the same birds,
I think it would be fun, I'm going to do it.
You have much better birds than we do. I get giddy over just seeing a
dove!
Love it!! I really need to get that new camera so that I might come close
to taking lovely bird photos like these!!
Oooh! Aren't they precious!!
Thanks for the lesson! As you know, I'm not very good with birds! :)
Great shots Lisa.
Excellent detail in your photos. I can appreciate how you can grow accustom
to something which is present everyday.
I was just sitting here feeling a little jealous, thinking, we don't get
such pretty little birds around here! But then I realised just like you
that I was taking what we have for granted. I have a couple of resident
magpies out the front, not as pretty but full of character! We also get a
lot of native birds like galahs, cocatoos, rosellas, all very beautiful
too!
These photos are spectacular. I love snapping pictures of birds. My
mother's cousin introduced me to the joy of bird photography.
Beautiful job, Lisa. Have you ever used extension tubes for macros? I was
just reading about them and since the macro on my telephoto lens is 180-300
I thought I might try the tubes instead of buying a better macro lens. I
also want to know how close your close-ups of the birds are and what lens,
if you don't mind sharing. I can never seem to get close enough. maybe
that'll change when I get the feeders up.
Beautiful photos. I really wish I could see birds like that around here.
Beautiful photos. I saw an amazing red bird yesterday, no idea what is was
and it had gone by the time I got the camera. I hope it comes back.
the chicadees don't come around my house much, but I see them many other
places around here. However, the goldfinch about ate me out of house and
home this past month. Remember my yard tour? That was goldfinch you could
hear
Great photos again. I hope you are feeling better.
