Black Capped Chickadee

Yet another remarkable capture.......... the clarity here is amazing.

I appreciate you have a 400mm lens, but even so you still need to get incredibly close to these little finches to capture this quality........ questions:- do you use a hide, or are these aviary birds or, or, or,.

Great shot........ well done.

Best regards 

Grayham,

Thanks for the nice comment.  Yes, you do have to get close.  I have a feeder with black sunflower seeds hung in a nearby tree.  I just sit out in the open with my camera on a tripod and wait.  If I sit still, they don't care that I'm there.  I took this today from about 12 feet away.  This was the only good one out of 25 shots.  It was 9 degrees F here so I was only out for about 45 minutes.

There were nuthatches and female redpols out as well, but I couldn't get a good shot of one of them...maybe tomorrow.

Best regards,

Dick

Very cute and technically well done picture with rather pastel colors!

Best regards Richard!

..... for the inside info.............. it all makes sense. Yes we are having a heatwave here in Perth WA........ so I'm totaly opposed to sitting out in the sun, Smiles.....
