Originally posted by Dewman Superb photos, Norm. You always manage so produce some extremely sharp images. The pine martins look really cute, but me thinks they can be pretty ornery if and when the situation demands it!
I was shooting this most of these with the F-70-210, and not even at full reach for many of them. They look when you get to close, otherwise they ignore you. All he's thinking is, "Is it time to go higher up the tree where this big slow creature can't get me."
Originally posted by waterfall Great shots of the pine martins and supporting cast of birds. The martins seem curious about the photographer! Thanks for sharing.
They always want to know how close we are going to come.
Originally posted by slowpez What cute little critters those martens are. Always enjoy seeing your birds too. I could do without the snowy background for sure but it sure makes for a nice backdrop. The Rose-breasted Nuthatch (?) is a beauty.
I have to do the birder thing... it's a red breasted nut-hatch...
The first one I took a picture of I called it an Orange Breasted Nuthatch
A birder asked me why I called it that, I said "Because it has an orange breast."
He got all snippy and said "Well that's not it's name."
To which I responded, "why would you birders call a bird with an orange breast, Red Breasted".
He just looked at me disgustedly and went on his way. I felt like the great unwashed heathen.
Well I am, but hey !!!
He didn't have to look at me like that... snob.
