Today at the feeders.
Tamron 300 2.8 and F 1.7x AF adapter.

I was messing around with the K-1 but they all stayed to far away, so I changed to the K-3. But I did get a couple of nice K-1 images first.


The detail on this is amazing, but I had noise at 1600 ISO, not supposed to happen.

Then of course as always happens, you take off the big bird body, put on the small bird body and a big bird turns up and lands right in front of you, and you can't get him all in.


The nuthatch was here as usual.


And Mr. and Mrs. Purple Finch





There were lots of Dark Eyed Juncos (like the K-1 image above) and some other sparrows.

Chipping Sparrow (new today).


American Tree Sparrow


White throated sparrow


Just when I was getting all these close ups as the sparrows came closer and closer to the blind, everyone just flew away all at once. I happened to look up and saw a Merlin come through the yard at high speed. If I'd blinked i would have missed it. The wood pecker stays where he is and simply moves around to the backside of the tree he's on, away from the Merlin's flight pass, and remains still for 4 or 5 minutes. I'm really unclear on how I could get an image of the Merlins. I've seen them come through the yard a few times but they are really quick and don't linger.

Hairy Woodpecker I broke down and took the 1,7x off for this last one. He was just too large in the frame.

Had one evening of birds that are rarely seen in my area, now they are gone as it is 96.5 degrees with a feels like of 104! The only ones left are the red wing black birds which I will sell for $0.25 a piece.

Evening/Morning. A few recent pics, as I've not posted here in a while. Still loving the pics. Impossible to follow some... All taken at our nearby British Wildlife Centre, most with the 1.4 TC attached to the 150-450. The very old looking Fox is just that, he's 13 now.

the kids on the field trip at the Topeka Zoological Park were amazed when it was pointed out that the water drops which would be absorbed by their cotton t shirts just sat on the back of the Mallard drake duck
