Thanks, Rick. They are fun birds to photograph!

Thank you all for the comments. Imagemeister, You nailed it! I would have guessed the same if I had seen his cape.

It's amazing how much power a guy can get from a mouth full of mouse!

Thank you! You have all made me a believer.

My first first thought was a goldfinch, based on the beaks, but the head and back coloring don't seems to fit. Your help in this quandary will be much appreciated.

Yes. Then setting the image area to 1.5x (24x16) we are at about 600mm. I would guess this guy was at about 50 yards.

I have recently added a new lens combo with the suggestion of one of our members and am thrilled with the result. I have been using a D7100 with a Nikon 18-300mm 3.5-6.3. Love is versatility! I have a developing interest in bird shots and wanted more reach. I went to full frame with the D750, the Nikon 300mm f4 with a 1.4 Nikon Teleconverter. When I set my image size to 1.5x I have the reach I have been looking for. It has been a wonderful investment and I'm having a ball!
