Redwing Blackbird

I went out looking for Egrets, and wound up with a Redwing Blackbird. This guy kept following me. I shot it with my 80-400 VR and 1.4 TC and D100 hand held. Comments welcome as always.

Hi Gale,
The Nikon ones don't work. Use the KenkoPro 300 1.4 TC. It works great in bright sunlight. I have been using one, ever since I I bought the 80-400 .
Thanks for the nice words.

 

Too fast

Hi Harris,
I must have been near a nest ot something. This guy kept trying to attract me. He kept moving just far enough to draw me away. Thanks for the comments.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your comments. I think it is just the angle of the shot. He was was up along the sand dune.  

 

Hi Frank,

It was obvious that it was trying to get my attention. It was along the sand dune at the Cape May state park. Thanks for your comments.  

 

Cape May

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your comments. It has been hot, and there are not a lot of birds around, although we are almost at the beginning of fall migration. I am planning on jumping over to Maryland tomorrow to go shooting wild ponies at Assateague Island. A litttle change of pace lol.

Hi Mike,

Been there and done that. We used to camp at Frontierland, when we pulled a trailer.

Janet sent me an email this AM saying that there was a rare Brown Headed Nuthach spotted at Cape May Point. I went there this morning, but no luck.

Have a great day.  

 

Nuthatch

Hi Mike,
You need a Sibley's or a Petersen book on birds. The Brown Headed Nuthatch looks like a regular Nuthatch except it has a brown head lol  

Have you been to Bombay Hook lately?
