Why not

[opener]

It's funny... I never gave two hoots ( pardon the pun ) about birds before I started shooting. Now, I am educated in all the birds we get in our area as well as WAY more information about birds than I probably ever wanted to know LOL.

Anyway.. couple of bird shots for yas. We get a lot of blue jays , chickadees and finches here in New Brunswick. Since we bought our house and loaded the yard with feeders, we pretty much have to fill them daily. A little bit of expense for countless bird shots... I'll take it :thumbup:

and an older Blue Jay shot. I baited him with peanuts and just snapped away while he was checking out the scene

1 and 4 are very nice shots.

Love the little chickadee perched on the glove. They are such brave, inquisitive little things. Nice set!

Nice set. I love number 3, a bird in the hand. (I guess it's worth 10 in the bush, number 2)

This is a great set of birdiegraphs :laughing: I just may have to put out a feeder or two myself this year :)

Nice work there opener ... the 1st and 4th appeal the most to me. I like the trees in those ecause I rarely see pine type trees around my area.

lovely set - 3 and 4 for me

#3 is my favorite. Well done

Another vote for #3 as well. Nice subject separation from the hand, and some very nice bokeh.
