2nd one and the last one. One friendly bird!

The peek-a-boo shot is very cool. Also the Mourning Dove.

Thank you! The nuthatch was adorable. He kept chirping at me when I didn't have the seed out fast enough. We were swarmed by the chickadee's. It was a fly through buffet. As soon as one would grab a seed and leave, another would swoop in. We had them landing on the camera's, our shoulders, our heads. It was hilarious.

The peek-a-boo shot is very cool. Also the Mourning Dove.

Thank you! I waited for him to pop his head up. I knew if I approached him, he'd fly. And I've always called them morning doves. Thank you for correcting me!

I like the whole set... I've had chickadees land on me out in the woods, but I've never had a camera handy at the time... Very cool to see one land on a persons hand...

Nice set of shots. Why were you wearing gloves, you afraid of a little Chickadee?

Thank you. We do this all the time. This area is known for the friendly birds.

Lol That is Scotts hand and he is wearing gloves because he's cold. He doesn't handle Ontario weather well.

Maybe they are? I checked and all but one of my set showed focus, but it's possible that I'm wrong.

nice shots.

Thank you

shots #2 and #4 are super cool The birds we have here fly away if they spot from a mile away!
Also love the colours in #1, and #6 was really funny too. One suggestion though, maybe try to play with the highlights slider in LR a bit, if you bring down the highlights, I'm sure you'll recover some nice feather details on the woodpecker

Thanks Raj. I'll try that. I'm still not very good at editing.

I like the bg in one and seven. The woodpecker shot is pretty neat and cute. It would be great to get some details of the woodpecker's feathers. I would love to have birds land on my hand, it would be so exciting.

Thank you. Going to work on that woodpecker one. Didn't notice how bad it was until Raj mentioned it and I looked at it on my work monitor.

I love having them land on my hand. Been doing it for 20 years and it still makes me happy.
