Excellent shots, David. #4 looks like he's saying to you with annoyance, "What are you looking at!?" ...Emphasis on the "you". loll!

Don't blame him one bit. Was watching for at least twenty-five minutes. LOL

Hope you enjoy these. Was out practicing for later in the season when the waterfowl finally arrive. Had to grab any opportunity. Most of these are very common and easy subjects like the Egrets, but what the heck. They keep me in practice for the good stuff. You can capture quite a few shots in just a couple of hours. Enjoy
Beautiful set!
I really like the ruffled pose of the egret.For the last two years, the goldies have shown up here on 11/18. I plan on shooting them this Saturday, so they better not be late!

Hope you get some good shots. Do you have some native vegetation that they can feed on? I know Niger thistle in a feeder is also a great attractant.

No native vegetation which would interest the goldies.
We are near the end of clearing unwanted weeds and growth from our long neglected property. I have told Hubby many times that as soon as the clean-up is done, I intend to plant many wanted weeds and non-weeds for the birds and butters. I'm not sure he fully understands the extent of my plans.
Meanwhile, we have well over 200 goldies living with us during the winter. Niger has always fallen straight through my finch feeders and the poor things are forced to survive on sunflower hearts. With the numbers we have, they are always in nearby trees or the fallen limbs I stick in the shrubbery near the feeders while awaiting their turn to feed. So, I have lots of opportunities for shots without feeders in view. They are not particularly skittish, so I have my hopes high for some good shooting.
I'll give niger another try - maybe buy some different feeders.Nov 16, 2017 09:38:00 #
