Our Yard

This is the only time this guy visited my feeders with about seven more of his buddies watching from high in a nearby tree. He stayed only long enough for me to run downstairs, get my camera and take a half a dozen shots through our kitchen window. Then they all flew off and I haven't seen any since.

Nikon D500 ,Nikkor 200-500 mm VR
1/2000s f/7.1 at 500.0mm iso3600 full exif

They follow a similar M.O. around here, only staying for a few minutes. Nice that you got a shot of him!

there's an imposing gaze, and aimed right at you....well done with the quick reaction..

Claude Gagnon 18-Nov-2020 03:05
Ouf, at least you got this one :))

It looks like it’s giving you the evil eye! Too bad they didn’t return but at keast you got some good shots.

Good job! I saw a flock yesterday when I went looking for a stray Townsend’s Solitaire that has been hanging around in a state park west of here. I bet you will see them again!

Impeccable timing on this exemplary capture, Hank

Helen Betts 18-Nov-2020 01:54
You sure got his attention as well as a great capture of him.

By appearances it looks like he has an attitude. "Don't even bother me"!"

You were so lucky that they visited you, even briefly, and you got this outstanding shot!!! Remember when they were so common at city feeders in the 70s?
