Today I tried the Nikon. They were patiently waiting for me to give them some space so they could dive down to the banquet I’d laid out for them. There is another tree off to the right, there were more on that tree.
Today was a day of “waiting”. If anything getting to know birds and their tolerance for a human wanting to get a picture, is teaching me “patience”
I was waiting for someone to turn up between these two trees. I managed to push the button in time to get these two.. They aren’t doing anything interesting, but it was an accomplishment for me. It was 7 degrees here this morning. My fingers were not getting, they were numb.
I have a great appreciation for the wildlife photographers who sit for hours to get a good picture. Not only do they have to wait for the bird to come into view, they then work their lenses to capture the bird in action or at least getting a good resemblance. LOL.. I at least can tell this is one of the blue jays.
Face challenging situations with positive determination. When you encounter difficulties, boldly take measures to overcome them. By creatively finding solutions, you will feel the joy in tackling any situation.

note… The crows are not in the same location as the Blue Jays
At Dewberry today I saw so many Evening Grossbeaks, it was a sight to see, the sunlight gleaming against their black and gold feathers. Sadly I didn’t even try to get pictures there. I was too occupied with filling the empty feeders. The Blue Jays were at Mer Bleue.
note… I got my fresh air. 🐱
Cheers on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Did you know a group of crows is a murder? Cheers!
I did, someone mentioned that the other day, I wonder why? any ideas?
With my last name being Crowe, this comes up a lot. Originally poetic but some see it as an omen when many of those black birds are together. We kid about it when there are many of us together, wondering who the bad seed is. LOL. Hope my response didn’t murder you with kindness.
LOl good morning… , is it only to the crows.. I have always enjoyed them so much, using murder as a terminology to relate to them.. will take getting used to. sends virtual greetings your way!
We are a pleasant, engaging group. Greetings as well!
You are definitely good news to these birds on such a cold morning. (I’d say that blue jay is giving you a butts up. 😉 )
hahahah I thought so too… LOL.. you are precious..
I love your appreciation for the photographer people don’t realise how much effort goes in to capturing an single image. How are you finding the Nikon.
HI Blackie .. at the moment I’m just playing with it. taking it out instead of the Canon, so that I get a feel for it.. I just got it. Had I researched it a bit more.. I might have gone for a different model, but … it uses double batteries instead of a camera battery. and its temperamental in extreme cold, it doesn’t like moist weather either.. mind you I live in an area where it can get very cold..and it stays COLD. time will tell. waves a happy smile to start your week.
Thanks i love your daily blogs I think mine are to long but I love telling a story like the Barn Owl today. Smile for Tuesday
A good set. The second bird is facing
I am happy that you had a good day.
