I have been hearing a bird singing in the trees for the past few months and have not been able to get a good look at the bird making the noise. I was expecting something wildly colorful and exotic looking. In the end it turned out to be just a normal looking bird with kind of boring colors. If it was one of those voice shows that let you see the bird before it sings you wouldn't think much of him until he opened his beak. It was nice to finally put a bird face to the sound that has been flowing out of the trees lately.
I captured the images using a 70-300 mm sigma lens that I purchased used from amazon and so far I am happy. These shots have been captured manually because I find the auto focus feature a bit annoying at the moment.
Dang I missed this one! Comment back and I will up the comment with my massive upvote LOL!!!
I have a bird that has come back to my tree for years. I call him my bird lol. I did a video of him last year but I wish I had that 300mm!! Sigma makes a good lens from what I hear. I may start buying all used from B and H. So far I have had great luck and savings from them.
Here is my bird!!
Nice photo of the bird! The fruits (?) are amazing and have bright yellow color! It’s great that you can finally take photo of the bird after hearing his songs for few months. Great capture! ;)
The fruits are just ornamental so they look nice but taste very bad. I was happy to see him out in the open finally.
Oh! It’s unfortunate that the fruits taste very bad…. I think, they are beautiful ornamental and look nice, as you said, indeed!
You were so lucky to see him out finally. ;)
Birds are the gems of the outdoors, without their tweets and pleasant songs the world seems to be dull and dead @azfix
I couldn't agree more @cryptopie
