The return of the Bird Whisperer. 😎

Keep up the good efforts. Perfection will come over time.
I much prefer action over perfection. I can find perfection in a bird book, but it is hard to find action someone has photographed at a location where I have previously been.
-
Great photos. Sometimes (most of the time for me) one must sacrifice profection for action.

Scriber took advantage of Wednesday's (10-28-2020) sunshine.
So did the resident hummer.
The best I could do to photograph the hummer at a feeder on my back deck.

The flock of bushtits continue to remain in the neighborhood. Shots from Saturday (10-24-2020).
My son keeps the suet feeders full in the hope we can bribe them into sticking around for the winter.

One nice thing about photographing eagles in flight is that they soar. The shutter speed does not have to be as fast as photographing something with a rapid wingbeat like a humming bird.

My birding continues to be limited to the back deck. Thursday (10-8-2020) my son put nuts out on the railing so I could take photos from the dining room through the sliding glass door.

Steller's jays are...

You can only detect them when they move.

A brown creeper was creeping (what else) up the side of the Douglas's fir closest to the back deck.
The creepers was practically invisible against the bark of the Dug fir.

Monday afternoon (10-5-2020) one of the Blues Brothers got brave enough to pick up some nuts from the back deck. I had to shoot at -2 exposure compensation to keep from over exposing the shots.
-
The ruby-crowned kinglets spend winters in our area. They are still constantly on the move, but the absence of leaaves on the bushes makes them a litlle easier to photograph.
-
Picking up some of the nuts. The crow did not make frequent trips to the deck, so I don't think it was stashing the nuts like its Corvid cousins the jays.
-
I bought a nut mix in the hope Blues Brothers would visit the feeders. The nuts, which include walnuts and peanuts, proved too large to move down the feeder, so I smashed them up and refilled the feeder. The small birds do not appear to be interested in the nuts, so I will start leaving them...
