Wow, I have never seen so many dark and rainy days all in a row. Woke up this orning to asnother but decided to sit in the blind and drink my coffee and see what turns up. Glad I did as there were periods where the sky lightened and some of the birds were cooperative providing a little cheerful color to the morning.

C&C welcome as always!

Good stuff there! I like the slightly different perspective on the Nuthatch.

Steve thanks a lot man. I was using f/4.5 iso 500 and the shutter speeds were anywhere from 1/250 (goldfinch) to 1/2000 for the woodpecker depending on how the light situation was at the time aws it was varying greatly, getting quite dark then lightening up suddenly.

Thanks Silverfox

Sharon, thank you much!

Thanks Snyder and Chucking!

Thanks a lot Bret. Not bragging but I think that is about my best ever goldfinch. Even a blind squirell..


Thanks Mr. Munroe
