Sometimes I shoot with the Canon 24-105 lens

Just because it's sitting right there!

This Hairy Woodpecker was staying still, trying to avoid being someone's lunch. I never saw the culprit, just the fact that all the birds became motionless. Ms. Hairy was only about 3 feet from my window, and even the cat jumping into the windowsill right next to her didn't make her flinch. She only blinked now and then.

Fantastic shots Sandy.

Nice set Sandy, I yet to change lens for the birds.

Very nice Sandy

Very nice shots, Sandy.

Good stuff. I definitely have to clean my window. Missed a couple chances at a Clark's Nutcracker the last two days.

Not too shabby, Sandy.

Great series. I've got a renewed interest in the 25-105. thanks for the motivation.

Great shots.

Nice set!

Thanks Dan! Never seem to have the right lens on when I need it. If I'm using the 400, the birds are too close and they won't fit in the frame, or it won't focus close enough!

Thanks Mel. For me, glare is more of an issue than clean windows, but just changing my angle slightly usually does the trick. Good luck capturing that Clark's Nutcracker!

Thank you!
I really appreciate everyone for taking the time to comment.

really like what you've done with your lens Sandy- good to have the correct tool for the job at hand

Great set Sandy. I think I prefer the Woodie without the sunshine.

What a great set, well done Sandy.

Great shots, Sandy. I have the 24-105, but it's typically my indoor lens. But you were indoors. Lol.
