Post your best bird shots!

A little while ago I got a call from my neighbor telling me to look up in the big tree behind our houses-----This is what he wanted me to see:



7D, 500L+1.4, hand held, ISO 400, f5.6, 2400. Moderate crop. also, there "were" a lot of distracting branches in the shot so I had to edit in CS5. Content Aware fill is a wonderful tool

Thanks for viewing

Bob.....Awesome, a Coopers Hawk I presume, and in the yard too....really neat.

I am using Zenfolio...guess I need to learn how to share images from there.

Yep, Cooper's Hawk, They are almost identical to a Sharp Shinned hawk except thier tail and body shape. I had to look him up the first time I saw him.

This is an image from yesterday using my Zenfolio account URL, does it look better?

Bob.....I use suet cakes for the woodpeckers...usually peanut flavored but I think just about any will work. Tractor Supply has the best prices around here.

Joel, thanks for the woodpecker feeding tips

Yes, 100 times better---Now it looks like a Joel Picture, not a Bob Picture
