Super-nice shots, Sandy. Think I'll take sharpness over "glow". Funny how the numbers vary by region-I have whites daily but reds only once in a great while. Think its been close to 2 yrs. since I've seen one.

Thanks Rog. I enjoy playing around with plug-ins once in a while, just to see different options.
I know the Whites are still here, just wish they would come back to the suet on a more regular basis. Both varieties are daily visitors most of the time.

Sandy you don't really have a problem with birds that land on you. I think we have corrupted them already so we might as well let them know they can trust. I have no problem if a bird lands on me of there own free will.

A very good set Sandy. Jeff, that bird on your hand is a really good shot. I've often wondered how close our resident Nuthatches would come, I've just kept my distance so far.

Thanks Mark! I've had Black Capped Chickadees land on me a few times while I was working around the feeders.

Im glad your alright with me posting the shot Sandy, I have some that would knock your socks off. I love to get close to the birds and animals they make the choice, I just let them know I will not harm them and mostly they are in my yard so they are reasonably safe from ding dongs. After all I think every one on this forum feeds there birds. The hardest part was holding the camera back far enough to focus lol

You are such an inspiration Jeff, so any advice, tips or critique is graciously accepted!
