This evening, right before darkness settled in, a Pine Warbler came to our feeders. I’ve seen it a few times in our front yard but not at the feeders before. Pam has seen it a few times (early morning) on the feeder.
I grabbed the camera and took a few pictures hoping one of them would be OK. I didn’t have the tripod so I braced myself on the desk in the upstairs office. This was the best of 5 that I took:
There is a lot of noise in the picture, due to the low light I suppose, but at least you can see what the bird is.
This makes 10 or 15 species I have photographed at the feeders. I enjoy trying to photograph the birds in our backyard. I really would like to improve the quality of the pictures but I think I will need to get a decent spotting scope and good camera adapter to do much better. We’ll see, maybe sometime later this year we can get a spotting scope and try “digiscoping”.
What kind of camera setups do you use to take nature/bird photos. Any suggestions for affordable setups that work well?
