I refilled our bird feeders put some peanuts in our squirrel feeder, and then sat out on the deck for an hour with my camera this afternoon. No squirrels showed interest in the peanuts I'd put out, but various birds stopped by.

I had a 500mm mirror lens on my camera, and then cropped each image by about 50%, adjusted levels, and sharpened for posting here.

I like that chickadee most.

Thank you - but I'm not sure the birds knew they were posing. One problem with using manual focus in that setting is that small birds are often nervous; they're constantly watching for trouble and easily convinced trouble has come - time to go!!
