canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | May 02, 2007 19:19 | #1 Well, a couple hours ago I was worried about ever seeing one, now I've got one not 15 feet away who could care less if I take his picture, with or without flash.

May 02, 2007 19:45 | #4 Thanks Downy and Trevor. I'll be looking for him tomorrow for better shots. These were shot directly into the low sun, so I'm surprised they came out at all. More surprising though, he was totally unconcerned with me sitting in the window not 15 feet away. I was even talking to him. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

May 02, 2007 19:49 | #5 Very nice...and close! I used to watch them at my birdfeeders when I lived in PA and thought it was funny how they'd kick their feet in the leaves to move them around to the seeds that dropped on the ground. I also love to hear them sing! Michelle [FONT=verdana]7D † Sigma 8-16 † Canon 24-70L * Sigma 18-250 * Rokinon 8mm * Sigma 30mm 1.4 * Canon 70-200 F/4L † Nikon SB-25 † Sunpak 383

May 02, 2007 20:06 | #8 Thanks Michelle and Stephen. Michelle, these guys do jump forward, then back, dragging their feet, then look to see what they turned up. It's fun to watch and I wish there were some way to catch it in still photos. Stephen, they are headed your way. I've been watching the birding list and reports are showing them all around here now. It won't be long. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

May 03, 2007 08:57 | #10 Thanks Dazzy. I talk to them cause it seems to calm them down. I guess they think if your talking, your not sneaking up on them or something. Anyway, they seem to like it. Mitch- ____...^.^...____
