Very nice. That's why we have to fill the feeder almost every day .
Thanks...and yes the feeder mix bill increases dramatically with the presence of peckers...also the blue jay causes the same result...

Great catch. Would you share your settings? I am working with the same bird and I am just not getting the focus sharp. I am using a Sigma 150-500. I practice with both hand held, leaning on a window sill and try-pod. I can get a good one every now and then. Any suggestions?

I shoot nearly all of my bird shots at the fastest shutter speed possible without increasing the ISO beyond 1600....in fairly good light, I am often at f6.7, SS of 1/800, and ISO at 800....I then make small adjustments by altering the exposure compensation in the desired direction....I'm convinced that a shutter speed of 1/800 and the 5-axis "in body image stabilization" of the Olympus OMD EM1 and EM5 are true assists to capturing sharp images...hope this helps....btw, I shoot with the Olympus 75-300mm(150-600mm equivalent) lens.

Thank you. I will move the ISO. It is still hard to move that number up. I have good technology and old school thoughts. More practice using the advice from UHH!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Absolutely loved this messy eater shot, Harve. A common sight, but rarely captured. Are you handheld with this one?
Any chance you could snap a shot of the 75-300 lens with your hand beside it so we can see its appx size?

Picky, picky, picky! Just jettisoned all my (extensive) Nikon DSLR gear and got an OM-D EM-1 and lenses, remote and flash. Wow, what a difference in size, weight and price and only the slightest give up in IQ !
