Post your best bird shots!

We had our first ever nuthatch visit our bird feeder setup this weekend! It's not a perch, but for a first visit a picture on the peanut feeder is just fine!

I also captured a black capped chickadee after a strong gust of wind had given him a mohawk. You don't see a punk rock chickadee too often!

Just stopping by to say hi to everyone :)

Nate

Umm how do I make the image large like everyone else :(???

Thanks Joe, I forgot to uncheck the box in the "uploading window", that why I couldn't post anything :D, I need to play around with the image size, this image is too large the forum resized it. What's the maximum dimension? Thanks

Nice one Nate, good to hear from you.

If you have a Flickr or Zenfolio account or something similar....you can post the image by using the url rather than an image on your machine and it will allow larger images to be posted.

These are nice images, I like the poses and the exposures are right on, my only thought is that they look a little too sharp. I really like the challenge of shooting these little birds...it's not easy for sure.

Hi everyone, how are you?

Here is a Red-tailed Hawk I got to photograph about 5 months ago.

Thanks Joe Eade for showing me how to post images, as I haven't posted anything since TDP switched to the new forum.

Nice one Joe, beautiful wood duck

Nice work Joel---He even smiled for you:o---Great detail, Perfect low angle exposure and saturation, beautiful background/foreground, Nice comp, sharp eyes. Dang, I can't find anything to critique----How much did you pay this duck to model for you?

I think it's a great shot. I haven't seen a Wood Duck close up before, are they quite skidish?

But just to be hyper critical here goes;

I would have prefered a wider aperture (f/4) to get a cleaner background.

I would like to have him more sideways to get a more "Posed" looking position. About 45 degrees or complelely 90 degrees.

It also looks very nice if it were to dip the tip of it's beak in the water or very close to it (Coots do this alot), or have is it's neck close to it's body.

But overall I think it's a very nice shot!

Keep it up,
John.
