Thanks Bob. I think your right, the crown was probably laying down, as it is in one of the photos from your reference link.

I photographed this bird in my back yard. Looks like a Kingbird(Couch's Kingbird),Flycatcher family. Nikon D7000 with 70-300 vr. Can anyone give a accurate identification of this species ? Look forward to your comments, Denny

Okay, I will admit it... I'm still shooting with a Nikon D40X and I absolutely love the thing. It's like an old battle axe. I've never had a single bit of trouble with it and still use the original battery which I just keep recharging. I know there are better, newer, nicer and more expensive Nikons out there, but I just refuse to give the thing up! It's like an old comfortable pair of boots, why change when it still shoots so well. Comments ?
The Nikon D40x was my first digital camera. It really worked well for me, then I decided to move up to the D7000 for more enlargeable photos, and gave the D40x to my Daughter, who is using it now and loves it. I used it for a wile as a back-up. The D40x is a very dependable camera, that never gave me any trouble at all, and the batteries are still going like a bunny. If the photo files are as large as you need, then why would you need to get an more expensive model. Enjoy that D40x, it is the last of the great easy to use models from Nikon in DSLR. One day, you may want to hand it down to another family member, and they will enjoy it too!

Hi Charles. Every time I get a new lens, I put the camera on a tripod and do some tests to see if it is focusing right. Very easy to do. Just get a yard stick and put a black line on it in the middle. Make it 45 degrees to the camera. Take a few shots and then look if the cameras is focusing on that mark. You should be able to go in camera and adjust it to front focus or back focus to get it right.

I just go into windows update, and 'hide' the windows 10 update. Every couple of months they send out another one, but it takes 2 seconds to disable that one too...
Yeah, that's what I do too...I keep mine set to not auto install updates, so I can screen the updates before I install them.

All of the digital cameras I have had follow the same card format protocol. I think it was developed for those who stumble around the menues and might accidently access reformat to prevent you know what. They are protecting against the lowest denominator.

Finally made some time to put the feeder I made up. Looks pretty good with the pole I made for it. Now have to run up tp the store to get bird feed.:)
Erv; It's a one-of-a-kind beauty. Yea!, squirrels do love peanuts in the hull. Lots of time, they will take them a ways off, and burry them for later lol. I get a kick out of watching them with peanuts. As long as the peanuts hold up, they'll leave the birds alone.

Any seen in Maryland?
Yes, up here in Thurmont, we see one once in a wile. They seem to like the pre-mixed nectar the best. ( Ruby-throated Hummingbird ). This year, they got here about 3 weeks ago.

This bird eats fruit and will not touch the thistle, blackoil sunflower seeds nor nuts, at least so far.
I cannot identify him or her. I hope to get a better picture but this guy is extremely edgy.

I'm right sure it's a Grey Catbird. At my feeders, catbirds love the peanut butter Suite. Below the tail, catbirds have a small area of reddish to brown colored feathers. It's hard to notice most of the time. My experience with them, is, they are right brave to my presents.
