Description Another bird shot. This fella was letting me get quite close, so close that I was afraid that my shutter sound would have scared it away. But he was just watching me watch him and I managed to get a few good ones in the mix. Here's another one from that sequence [link]

Thanks indeed. The blue is actually the reflection of the sky off the snow onto white vinyl siding. Weird, huh? And this bird let me get pretty close. I was happily surprised. This camera is doing good. It all depends on the lenses though.

When you getting some more stuff out?

Lovely. Sometimes they can be so helpful & other times they scatter if you so much as look at them from 10' away...

That's true. I can't even get close enough anymore. I hope I have better luck this summer.

I've just aquired a dog. I can kiss goodbye to any opportunity to get near birds now!

Sometimes, dogs attract birds... as targets. LOL Monday [link] used to get dive-bombed by some kind of wild canary. Apparently, we were too close to the nest. Vicious though harmless. All they try to do is scare the dog off a little. Keep your camera handy and on the ready.

I'm having enough trouble keeping the dog under control with both hands... LOL

How old is the puppy?

He's about 3yrs old I think - a Staffordshire terrier (related to pit bull) He's a handful & needs training, but he has a sweet disposition & is loving.

thanks I was surprised that the lighting would come out so well, too. considering. Snow makes a great reflector.

Fantastic shot! I'm surprised he stayed still long enough for pics. He (or she) must have been ready for its close-up.

Thanks It's the best birdshot I've ever gotten. I thought I heard someone yell "Make-up! Where's the make-up?" But I'm not sure.
