An Orange breasted Sunbird feeds on Cape Honeysuckle at the top of Table Mountain. The bright colours in the distance is the sun on the roof tops of Cape Town.
My long time flickr contact Michael Greenwood hit the jackpot with this one.

Kent, Connecticut. Another great dinner with our friend the artist Joy Brown and replacing her flying elephant she now has a robin. A sign of spring? We hope so.

Warren, Connecticut. Nuthatches are my favorites of the birds on our feeders. They’re the only bird that can walk straight down a tree although like woodpeckers, they’re insect eaters as well as seed eaters.
You can see how awkward this dude is on the feeder perch, his claws are really grasping to stay on.
This shot is [...]

Warren, Connecticut. I always wondered how these birds can get enough purchase on a round peg to hold themselves up given that their little feet and claws aren’t built for this kind of perch. Some can but others feel the need to hold on elsewhere so they can pig out with abandon.
Note: This is an [...]

Warren, Connecticut. This feeder is on the north side of our house and it’s tough to shoot given its proximity to the sun’s arc. However, I was able to get a few interesting shots including this one of a nuthatch who, upon landing immediately took off when she saw me. I love her little [...]

Warren, Connecticut. More than any of the other birds on our feeders chickadees seem to have little problem with me standing ten feet away taking pictures. I suppose food trumps fear when the nights are getting colder and winter approaches.
Note: This is an extreme crop as a test of the Canon EF 200mm f/2.8 L [...]

Warren, Connecticut. As the temperature drops the songbirds on our feeders eat more and the more they eat the more often I have to fill the feeders. My wife thinks the birds put hobo signs on our house: "humans keep feeders full here, empty fast for fresh seed."

My old friend Scott James nailed a nice picture of a female ruby throated hummingbird. Way to go Scott.

Warren, Connecticut. I decided to see if I could stand six feet away from this tube feeder for long enough for birds to ignore me and come in and eat. It took two minutes for this chickadee to swoop in and pick up a seed.

palko72 has some of the best bird photography I’ve seen on flickr in a while. He has a very long lens (600mm) which certainly helps but still, you have to aim it and know when to shoot. He’s very good as this shot demonstrates.

This is a true story.
When I was ten (1961) my mother got me a subscription to Popular Mechanics magazine which I poured through looking at the pictures and diagrams. In the back, mixed in with all the other small advertisements for army surplus weather balloons tanks, and bazookas was one for a "free" Audubon Bird [...]

Warren, Connecticut. Anne was eating breakfast the other day and called me to watch our local, young hawk eating its breakfast too. Being a "country girl" she was able to continue eating as the hawk dismembered the dove and pieces went flying.
This was shot through a gas-filled, double-paned window and cropped.
