comments appreciated, thank you!

very nice !!!

Nice detail. If you are going to shoot a lot of small birds you might want to get the 600 instead of the 500. Not just for the reach, but they are in the shade lots of the time, so you would need a tripod anyway.

Real nice, Dicky. The detail is great and I love the soft background. Great capture, my friend. Regards, Lawrence.

Beautiful !. Very nice detail. Regards, Jean-Marc

Photography is an excellent way to spread the knowledge of nature. I admire the patience of the photographer of nature. Congratulations. Best wishes. Vicente.

Thank you all, very much! I am in the market for a longer lens...not sure which one yet...lots of time to think it over!

Not easy shooting these birds as they always seem to move:-)) But you seem to make a good job of it...well done and Regards

Thank you, Keith! I started feeding them in my back yard so that I could attract them to practice. They don't sit still for long. I can sit out in the open, in the snow, with the camera on a tripod about 12 feet from the birds and they don't mind as long as I don't make any sudden moves. It's been a lot of fun, but has me longing for a longer lens:-)

 

Have a good day!
