Moving from Paradise where after 20 years I had an established cadre of birds using my feeders, things here on the northcoast have been slow. After 4 months I finally have a few using the feeders, especially a family of chickadees that show no fear of my presence. Here's an image I took yesterday.

Nice shot.

Nice shot! Cute little birds. I have them in my back yard too as well as nuthatches. I held some seed out for the nuthatch; he looked at me and I at him and he actually took it out of my hand. I was amazed. It takes time for the birds to gather to a "new" place.

No flash. I rarely use it and then only for shots of owls at night. I had been getting poor DOF results plus not stopping movement so I upped my ISO to 1600 and shot this at f8 at 1/400.

Awesome. Thank you. Can’t wait to see more of your shots. 😊

Paradise? Were you one of the victims of that fire? If so, hope everything is OK in your new home.
