The "small bird set up". K-3 and Tamron 300 2.8 with the F 1.7x AF adapter.
I tried to out blackbird Riggomatic, I have a huge flock of grackles with a few redwings blackbirds mixed in at the feeders right now. I could here them all around me, but they wouldn't come to the feeders while I was in the blind. The crows were furious with me. It's been so long since I was in the blind they thought that the food I put out came without strings attached.
But I did get some other images.
By the time I got done with the purple fringing and CA, there was almost no colour left in this one.
The spring moult is on, getting dressed up for the ladies.
