Ten Species from My Bedroom ( Vista Shots Added)


As I live on a mountain lake, I\'ve photographed scores of bird species from my bedroom over the years. Usually I shoot through a sliding glass door in the winter as it\'s too cold to open any windows or doors. These images were all shot through a sliding glass door with a 20mm extension tube, tripod/ ball head. The tube reduces the 500 f4 mfd down to about 12 feet instead of it\'s normal 15 feet mfd. I\'m 3 feet away from the glass on the inside, the perches are taped to deck balusters about 10 feet beyond the door where I can move them very easily to change the BGD or shooting angle. I prefer to shoot at a 45 degree angle through the glass which helps to eliminate glare from light sources behind me, namely other windows. I had over two dozen pine siskins and a single common redpoll for several days straight which was a highlight. Sorry, but the perches are all the same. Some in snow, some in better light.

Sorry, but the perches are all the same, until I steal some pine branches from Uncle Ted. Some in snow, some in better light.
