A Few Bird Pictures
Comments (11)Dawn, We had a painted bunting that came to our feeder in Lone Grove. The first time I saw it, I thought it was a pet that had gotten away from someone. The colors looked like a parrot but of course it is much smaller than that. He continued to come to the feeder all summer and I think he returned the following year also. I only fed regular bird seed but there was a bird bath next to it and I think the water was the attraction because the birds didn't have a natural source of water anywhere near. I don't think they are listed as coming into Oklahoma either. Susan - If we hang a thistle feeder here in the spring, we have dozens of American Gold Finch. They are cute little birds. I never see a blue bird here, but I live in a lot of trees and I think they like wide open spaces best. A couple of years ago I could hear something banging on the house. At first I thought it was a woodpecker because they will peck holes in your house and they really love my neighbors cedar siding. I followed the sound to the other side of my house and it became extremely loud. I went outside to look around and it stopped. Later it started again, and I went outside again. After several days of this, I was outside and I heard it start. It was a big black bird sitting on top of the chimmney. Our chimmney has a metal cover that is solid on top and has mesh on the sides. He was sitting on top and banging his beak against the metal. I guess the noise was really bouncing around in that chimney because inside it sounded like someone hitting the house with a basketball -- repeatedly. After about a week, he moved on....See Morea few bird picture taken in Myrtle beach

Comments (4)awesome!!!! so where these taken and then zoomed in for cloe-up details? How close was she able to get? How much X zoom did she use? Did she have to go into her digital zoom? Lots of questions .....but I'm still trying to figure out how she gets such good clear pics. Tripod? I could keep on asking if only I could get my lower jaw raised!!!!! I'm still in awe out how great they are!!! I caught the sun justright the other day and played with some close-ups of flowers......was I doing something wrong or is it just how you have to take a close up? I had to get within 2 inches of the flower!! The pics were pretty nice....was just amazed at how close I had to get!...See More- 13 years ago
