New prop for shooting birds

[Bob Correll]

A few of you kind folks have asked for more of my bird photos, so here are a few with a new prop.
A piece of firewood had a cavity in it so I put peanut butter and seeds inside.
This was a test run, through a glass door, handheld, with a slow zoom.
Tripod, remote, and faster lens for my next attempt.
I was lazy, so these are auto-enhanced.

Tufted titmouse:

The mini kettle is still an option again this winter.

But maybe add some weight.

Thanks for letting me give you all the bird!

Love them all Bob, but REALLY love the cardinal pics!

 

[Bob Correll]

Thanks Mike!
Here's one just for you.

 

[Mike Willis]

Thanks Bob! Do I have your permission to use it as wallpaper or perhaps a new avatar?!?

 

[Enrico Brandizzi]

Where do You live? In the bird's heaven???
Amazing birds and pics!

 

[Bob Correll]

Thank you Enrico!

Thanks Bob! Do I have your permission to use it as wallpaper or perhaps a new avatar?!?

Certainly Mike, very happy you think it's worthy.
I could point out some of its faults, but wont.

Cool photos, the weber birdfeeder is too much.

Good stuff Bob! Really like that first one - great bokeh. And the Cardinal with the red kettle is a classic.

 

[Rich Dahl]

Wow! Thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures Bob, truly outstanding!

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Bob, you have some steady hands and some clean windows. I love those photos and envy your skills. The Cardinal is certainly the Alpha "Dog".

Here's the new avatar Bob! Thanks for the use of it (for non-commercial purposes only!)...

 

[Bob Correll]

Thanks so much everyone!

Mike, I'm gonna take your avatar as being a St Louis Baseball Cardinal, not the football team that deserted us for the desert.

Thanks so much everyone!

Mike, I'm gonna take your avatar as being a St Louis Baseball Cardinal, not the football team that deserted us for the desert.

As it should be Bob...and as far as football is concerned I'm a Rams fan!

Now, if the St. Louis Hawks would just come back... (but baseball has always been my favorite!)

Sorry to disappoint Dan.
My first two labs got waterfowl workouts, but since I haven't hunted for a few years our current one, well she.................

This is outstanding

As a former East-er, Cardinals and Mocking birds are the two I miss the most. Thanks Bob.
