This week Tina has given us the delightful challenge of “What a Treat” for the Lens-Artists Challenge #120. This week the birds visiting our feeder have been my treat.
I have never seen the Evening Grosbeaks here before, They are so brightly colored they look almost tropical. So seeing them and the little White Breasted Nuthatch was my Treat for the week. Thank you Tina for this challenge.
The nuthatch is one of the favorite birds that visit our backyard.
Amazing patience to be in the right place and right time to capture such an image. Well done!
I have to take thr bird photos through thr kitchen window so that can be tricky
So glad you liked them. Thanks for commenting. Have a good weekend.
Beautiful images, Anne. I love the coloring on the Evening Grosbeak.
It is quite exotic for us. They travel in large flocks too. Thanks for leaving a comment Patti!
Lovely captures, what a nice treat to have these lovely little birds nearby.
Thank you ,they provide a lot of entertainment.
Definitely a treat, Anne! You get a nice variety of birds! You could have linked with Sunday Stills this week, too, with the backyard bird theme 😁
Ah! Thank you Terri. I am not keepong up with everything in the blogosphere !
I get it! 🙂
This is a treat for me too and I believe your handling of aperture mode made the picture so clear.
I was shooting at f5.6 . It is tricky to get the little birds as they flit and fly so fast. Thanks for commenting Subbashini.
Always my pleasure 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I recognised the nuthatch from my bird books – I have never seen one in real life!
They are fiesty little birds. When my husband goes out with our little dog they look down from the feeder and while other birds fly off they just watch with a superior look and go on with finding seeds on the feeder.
Wonderful treat! Watching those cute little birdies is absolutely a treat for our eyes and also for our mind.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed them.
What a treat, so BEAUTIFUL!! ❤️
Thanks Diana. Glad you enjoyed them.
It is indeed a treat, very cute little guys. It’s too bad we can’t communicate with the Grosbeaks, and teach them, if everyone just takes turns, everyone will get some seeds. But you’re absolutely right, they do look almost tropical
There are several animals, including horses, that I wish I could communicate with to help them . Thanks for this comment Robert
Lovely set of bird image, Anne. What a treat for viewers.
Thank you Amy. I appreciate that comment very much.
I love to watch nuthatches, Anne. They are so acrobatic.
They are! Glad you enjoy them too!
Excellent!
“Here’s Looking At You, Kid.” -Humphrey Bogart (who?!), twice in Casablanca.
“”Are you looking at me?” “Are you looking at me?” “Are you looking at me?” [Robert De Niro, “Taxi Driver”]
Hello John! I apologize for the fact that is has taken me a day to reply to your very entertaining comment. I do know who Humphrey Bogart was and have seen Casablanca about three times. And I have read a biography of Lauren Bacall and learned more about Bogey through that as well. I have also seen Taxi Driver. What a film!!! I think the little bird is not quite as dangerous as De Niro but a bit sharper that Bogarts “looking”.
😀
😂😂 Nooooo problem. 😂😂
How cool!
Thanks Sarah!
What a treat indeed Anne! Those little birds are so sweet and so different from those we see here. Endless entertainment!
Yes it is . Thanks Tina!
