Get well soonI'm doing nothing but backyard photography right now since I've got COVID. It's a mild case, so I will certainly not complain.
Here' a Dark-eyed Junco scoring a seed from the snow.

Thanks, HutVery nice!
They were doing both. That tree had a ton of berries on it this year and when the seeds ripened the birds had it stripped clean in about 1 week .beautiful woodpecker in the dogwood with berries. Do they eat the seeds or just posing there?
Great captures!We have an above-ground goldfish pond in our back yard. A mink visits us on occasion. Nikon D850 wearing a 400mm f/2.8 VR lens.

We have a lot of bold raccoons as well - so one evening I set up 3 studio strobes around the bird feeders. Nikon D850 wearing a 70-200 f/2.8e FL lens. (3) Einstein strobes.View attachment 32880

Wow, Lance B! You have quite the nice selection of avian subjects to photograph! Wonderful shots!Not out my back door, but actually came inside our house!! This King Parrot is obviously very used to humans and must get fed around the area as this guy dec ided to fly into our house and sit atop my grandsons toy kitchen set. I just happened to have my Z7II + 50 f1.2S nearby and took a few shots whilst he sat there posing. In order to get him to go back outside, I put some birdseed in a wooden bowl and he gladly jumped on and I carried him and the bowl back outside!
He is now a regular visitor to our home, but we feed him outside.

Fabulous. The colors are stupendous…
Sorry to hear about minor stroke - HAPPY to hear you’re on the mend. Wonderful and strong photo to re-start.Back after a long layoff due to a minor stroke. Mobilty and co-ordination gradually improving now that the snow is gone and I can get out in the yard without risking a fall.
