Image captured through glass of sliding door with handheld K-S2 and Sakar 1:8 500mm. (The lens is not the mirror variety.)
I am unsure, despite consulting three good resources, whether the finch is a house finch or a purple finch.
It was a very productive photo shoot, yielding images of a woodpecker, male cardinal, bluejay and sparrows.
Thanks very much to all who post in this thread!

That part with the copper contacts is going to fail. I went through the same thing with my 60-250. You can order a replacement part, I got my from Sun Camera in Toronto, the Pentax authorized repair guy for $40. With a philips jewellers screw driver it's an easy to replace part. I would do that before it fails completely. Or maybe you could epoxy it in place, that might work too if it's still attached at one end and working.

With our trip to Niagara Falls, leaving the sparrows for a week without food, it appears they've all left for the south. Not a bad idea since I'll be leaving for a week over christmas as well, and it may well be too cold to migrate by then.
So I'm left with the birds who store their food, or who live here all year anyway without a food supplement, a lot of Blue Jays....
My usual full compliment of chickadees
Great light means frozen action.
A gold finch, that I did not get a decent image of, due to not realizing my camera was set to MF from my super moon shots the other night. Same with the White and Red Breasted Nuthatches.
And my wood peckers are both still here, both Hairy and Downey. The Downey left before I went out to the blind.
I have way too many Jays... not sure what to do about that. It was fine when there were 6, now there's at least 12 and they run off the smaller birds When there was 6, if the Jays went one place, the smaller birds would just go to another feeder. Now there are enough Jays to control all the feeding spots at once..
I'm still hoping to pick up some Grosbeaks and finches for the winter....
You guys are going to get awful bored seeing the same birds in every post if I don't. I'll have to limit myself to one bird post a week, featuring a different bird every time out, to make it appear my life is interesting.

(I'm trying to clear all the memory cards. Lot of older shots. Still long way to go...)
