SmugMug > keywords > tattered > Alright, this one is going out on a limb for me, as I don't usually shoot birds. Not that I wouldn't like to, I just don't have the glass for it. This was shot with the 70-200 at 200. I was back over at the folks house tonight and Dad mentioned that the finches were molting and I should try to get a few shots. I told him I had thought about it but I would have to be incredibly close and probably sitting on a bench he has right next to the feeders. So as I was leaving, I decided to find out. I approached the bench, took a seat, and promptly scared all the birds away - just as I thought I would. I figured I'd sit for a few minutes and see if any brave birds would come back, and in the meantime I'd scope out some of the nearby branches they usually perch on to see if 200mm was going to be enough lens for the task. What I hadn't realized is that one of the goldfinches was actually still perched on one of the feeders -asleep! The wind was blowing and swinging the feeders, and apparently this guy was rocked right to sleep. I really wish I had video, because he was quite entertaining to watch. He would open his eyes every time the shutter clicked, and then slowly close them again. I was timing shots to catch him in a little sliver of sunlight as the feeder swung to the right and this frame caught him as he was slowly fading. Of course, after 25 frames of the same pose, I tried to inch my way closer and spooked him into flight. Thanks for all the kind comments on yesterday's collage. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
