Some Local Residents and an Unexpected Visitor

I received the gift of a new folding chair last night and wanted to see how it would work for birding. It works great.
Today we had a lot of young folks at the feeders. Also some regulars and a very unexpected guest.

Either an Immature or Molting Male Cardinal.

Getting Caught Up: Bird Feeder Edition

I've taken something like 60 photos since I started writing this post so I'm only posting the latest pictures.

These are all from this morning.

I've been working a lot with camera settings as well as my post process. I continue to use Lightroom and have added the Topaz Labs suite of Sharpen AI, DeNoise AI, and Gigapixel AI. I'll admit that I have not used GP that much yet but the other two are amazing.

Anyway, here we go.

This is a Goldfinch. I believe that it's a female.

An American Robin. The one who lives in my yard seems oddly fascinated by what I am
doing in the yard.

Black-Capped Chickadee. These are the bravest birds at the feeder. Some land on the feeder
while I am still filling it.

Carolina Wren.

A pair of House Finches out on the town.

This Mourning Dove sat around and let me shoot a bunch of pictures of him/her.

More Mourning Dove.

My Favorite pic of the Mourning Dove.

Our local Northern Cardinal male. The wife wasn't with him this morning. She usually shows up in the late afternoon.

Here's the Cardinal waiting his turn at the feeder.

Tufted Titmouse with a nut from the bird feeder. He looks willing to fight for it too.

Tufted Titmouse. There were at least three around the feeder this morning.

A White-Breasted Nuthatch. Notice the size of the rear claw. He likes to work/eat head down so
I assume the claw has evolved to be able to support him in that attitude.

Here's the White-Breasted Nuthatch on the tree near the feeder after he got bored
of the birdseed and suet.

Bird Shots: No School Today Edition



Big wind and rain storm hit the Northeast today and schools were closed so I was left at home without power and just my camera.

But the winged friends out back kept me busy for awhile. Here are some friends at the feeder today.

This is one of three Chickadees that worked the feeder for over 30 minutes.

"Are you lookin' at me?"

At the feeder but about to go to the tree and try to crack this thing open!
Chickadee and Downy share.

Downy alone.
Titmouse.

Titmouse.

I think this is a Purple Finch.

Here's another shot of him 
He was very cooperative.


He loved the sunny side of the feeder.

One final closeup.
