A few from this evening

Hi all I actually had a few minutes of time to myself so I setup on the front porch and snapped a few. The first goldfinches of the year showed up, which are one of my favorites. All shots with the D2X and the 300 2.8 with the 2x converter

Thanks so much, I knew the ID I had a homer Simpson moment... DUH!!!

 

Thanks I like my front porch when I get tired of sitting in the blind I can sit in the Adirondack chair and sip my favorite beverage of choice..

 

Thanks Debbie hopefully the third time is the charm!!!!!:biggrin:

 

Thanks so much for taking the time to look and comment

 

Thanks Hunter
I have some perches setup for clean shooting but of course you cant tell where these guys like to land. I think the Red Maple leaves in some made for interesting backgrounds

 

It is so nice to be able to walk 10 feet and shoot these little guys I am really wanting to get out and shoot the big birds but that involves anywhere from an hour to 2 hours travel time so with my schedule as of late that is not happening

 

Thanks Louie I love the godfinches they are on of my favorite little guys I appreciate the kind words

 

Thanks Harris I am so happy the way the 2X works on the 300

 

Hey there stranger, how goes it, thanks this is the first bird shooting in several weeks. On the weekends I am shooting sports a good part of the time
Thanks for the kind words

 

WOw thanks Garry I appreciate you takign the time to look and comment
