The Sunday BIRD Volume 8, Issue 24, December 1, 2012

I thought I'd provide a follow up to my Blue Jay from last week. On this day he decided to get up early and get his bath before the hawk made his first appearance...At least he tried

169mm; f/7.1@1/320sec; ISO 800



Unfortunately he was standing in about a half inch of water on top of the ice.

169mm; f/7.1@1/320sec; ISO 800



So what now?

169mm; f/7.1@1/320sec; ISO 800



He probably came back later in the day but I missed him.. Other small birds came by for a seed or drink and quickly left

600mm; f/8@1/800sec; ISO 800



More small birds stopped by and some larger birds passed over but I'll have to keep those for another day... All pictures here taken with the E-30 and the ZD 70-300mm lens using a monopod.
