Nah I don't think so!! It's been one long miserable winter, but the birds are finally starting to show up I think!! I saw some Canada geese last week and today a purple finch. They must be starting to move up north finally!

Here are hopefully some of the last snowy pictures of birds for a while

thanks for looking.

Ducks and Finch are with 400DO + 1.4x II or 2.0xIII
Robins are with Sigma 70-200OS + 1.4x II

1. I LOVE this robin, he seems to be in an intermediate stage with his plumage, which I have never seen.

2. This robin was close by, but not as approachable

3. Same as this one

Maybe the finches were purple from the cold Charles. A nice set with 6 and 8 my picks ~ Ron

Nice set Charles. You managed some really nice robin shots. They never let me get that close.

Very nice set, Charles. The robin is really cooperative to strike some poses for you.

Thanks a lot everyone! I never been able to get so close to robins, especially at 280mm. They seemed more concerned with the bald eagle flying overhead!
