A Sappy Story
I am not a bird photographer, and never will be. I don't have the patience to stand around and wait. That said, I was out in my back yard in the snow with my camera. I had my macro lens on my camera, shooting close up tulips in the snow, etc. and suddenly saw this woodpecker in a tree. What could I do with a macro lens? Well, apparently, quite a bit, seeing as he stayed still, except for all the pecking he did. I took a couple of shots, then moved closer....and so on. I noticed he'd pecked holes all the way around the tree and started a new row, and the sap was running out. No wonder he's called a redbreasted sapsucker. I had to crop the image quite a bit to get him large enough.
No, this is not going to make me want to photograph birds :) Just if they come to me.
