We don't get bluebirds in our yard very often. It was a nice treat this morning.

I moved the big feeder closer to the patio. Now I can shoot through the kitchen window, plus the pussy willow bush next to the feeder makes a great landing spot.

SMC-K 300mm at f8

Everybody seems to be getting good at this. Lots of great images.

K-3 and Tamron SP AF 300mm LD [IF] plus HD DA 1.4 TC (420mm ƒ4)

I finally got some sun and some time, well, I only got some time because my snow blower froze up and I'm waiting for it to unthaw under a tarp with an electrics heater.

I got one of everyone present today.

First the news, one of the male goldfinches has started to change colour. His breeding plumage is coming in...

It is that time of the year again when the varied thrushes are around.

Last night I filled the bird bath and today I get home from the store and installing a new video card in my brother's computer, the bird bath is empty. Once I fill it is usually takes days to be empty, so I was trying to figure out why after a few hours it was empty. Below is why:

Both birds we see around here. The Yellow Rumped Warbler only in the summer though, and not in my yard, but over at my favourite Crown Land campsite,
