Zooming in on Birds<\/h2>\n

Birds move fast. \u00a0That’s why photographers often create a natural looking perch above a feeder, or play recorded bird sounds to lure a bird in front of the their tripod mounted camera. \u00a0There’s nothing wrong with a tripod or staged bird photography but recorded bird calls interrupt the bird’s natural behaviors. \u00a0Foraging, mating, and nesting are disrupted \u00a0and the implications are serious for some species. \u00a0At Little Piney, \u00a0I don’t use recordings for the purpose of photography. \u00a0I’m usually on the move, just as the birds are, so I use a hand-held 600m zoom lens. photograph the birds in their natural behaviors wherever they are. It’s hard to get good clear photos without a tripod so I may take 30 or so to get a few sharp ones. \u00a0That’s okay–I love the results!<\/p>\n

Here’s what you get when you zoom in on birds–<\/h2>\n

Drama<\/h2>\n

Only his the crimson throat of this Ruby-throated Hummingbird is in focus but that’s the most stunning part. \u00a0The color is not edited in this photograph.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t see what was happening on the wire when I took this photo. \u00a0Looks like Baby Bluebird is having a chat with the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher.<\/p>\n
