Great images John. Very inspiring. So you go out and place 1 pc of nut and hustle back to your camera for a shot? One nut one shot? Ok the pair of Cardinals is an exception. Very cool. How does your wife feel about you raiding her baking supplies? I can hear that conversation at my house. "Where are all my walnuts?" " Aaah you know that adorable Bluejay picture....."
They are all great but the Bluejay taking off is Top Shelf.
Tell me again what gear you are using?

Thank you very much, Bill. Well it's kind of like fishing. Sometimes I come back to shoot and the nut is gone and sometimes I come back, wait an hour and give up. Actually my wife feeds the birds walnuts. We buy 3 lb bags at Costco. Always have a couple of walnuts around for bait. You asked about gear: I'm using an Olympus OMD E- M1,II (that's a micro 4/3). For these shots I used a 40-150mm,f/2.8 alone or with a 1.4xT.C. or 2xT.C. So in FF equivalence it spans 80-600mm.
