Camera Critters: Red-bellied Woodpecker, White-throated Sparrow

Today we feature more birds from the natural bird feeders. There is a very limited variety of species that utilize them, but those that do are there in plenty.

All of the photos were taken with the Canon 7D and the 500mmF4 L.


Red-bellied Woodpecker-Early Morning ISO 640


The next two photos were taken as the rays of the late evening sun bathed the feeding area in a warm glow. Taken at ISO 200.

    Very beautiful!
    I love the yellow spot on the sparrow. We do not have any of them here, I wish we did! We do have a red bellied...just one, a female.
    Thanks for sharing these awesome photos.

    Willard: What neat captures of the birds. Those red bellies never give me an underneath shot.

    Excellent shots Willard!
    I really like the golden glow.
    You are as adept at taking bird images as you are with the deer. :)

    Lovely to be able to get them in a natural setting. I've only seen a white-throated once this winter, but the red-bellies are here everyday and it's been a very cold western NY winter....Michelle

    I love your bird photos--nice and sharp and great composition. I like the natural feeders you and Coy I have done. We built one Saturday outside our shop.
