Redpolls in Motion

With all the redpolls around the last couple days, I've had plenty of opportunity to catch them at my feeders.  Today's count was over 100 and the sound and motion they created at my feeding station was just amazing.

I put the camera on my TrekPod (a lightweight combo walking stick/monopod/tripod that I like to use indoors - easy to carry around) and shot away in burst mode.

A better photographer might choose to hit the delete on these images, but I love the motion expressed in them.  (I also did a Grosbeaks in Motion post back in early January.)

I hope you enjoy.  Let me know your favorite.

ATTENTION

  • Our eyes and ears should be open and alert to the natural wonders that surround us every day. Take time to look out our windows to see the birds that visit us and open our windows to hear them. Walk around whatever space we have to enjoy the birds in nature. Every day, work on improving our powers of observation.

ACCEPTANCE

  • Nature happens. We cannot MAKE natural things happen (or NOT happen). We can create habitats to encourage natural things to happen around us, but there are no guarantees.

RESPONSIBILITY

  • Birdfeeding comes with responsibilities to the birds and the environment we share with them. If you are unwilling to accept these responsibilities, you shouldn’t feed the birds. We also have a responsibility to share these natural wonders with the next generation.
