If the "early bird gets the worm" then what do I get? :) I'm up and out before the birds wake up.....this bluebird was on her box before the sun came up. The glow of the sun was just peeking through behind her house.
Bird watching with a high zoom camera. This one zooms to 60X power at 20 megapixels, but can be set to 120X at 9 megapixels, which is what I set it for this video. Enjoy!
Taken just out side my home in Cochin. There were a lot of insects on the ground - and they were taking off one by one - it was a buffet for the birds - and my cats. Took a lot of photos that day - this was one of the best among them.
Also, this is the first image that I'm publishing that I've taken with my new camera - a Sony A6000(mirrorless). Very excited with it.

I know it's been done many times before but it's still a scene I always enjoy --- birds crowded on a wire.
Canary: A mainly African finch with a melodious song, typically having yellowish-green plumage. One kind is popular as a pet bird and has been bred in a variety of colors, especially bright yellow.

Neko was sitting in the front window this morning watching birds when this pretty baby flew into our front window and crashed on the ground underneath. I rushed outside to see if I could find the poor thing, and discovered it dazed, but alive. I picked it up and brought it in the house, unsure of what I would do with it. It couldn't fly, and seemed content to just sit in my hand. After a few minutes I let Neko see the bird up close. He was gentle with it, but very excited to see it. After that, I showed the bird to Skeeter, who was unsure what to make of it, but very interested. Then, I went and woke up sleeping beauty (TJ) and showed the bird to him. Half asleep, he at least recognized what it was, and took a few sniffs. (Yawn....)
After a few more minutes, I was searching for a cat cage in the basement to put the bird inside for possible recovery, when it regained its wits and flew out of my hand. It was pretty lively, and feeling much better! But I didn't know how I was going to catch the thing and get it back outside. I finally managed to get it to land on my fingers a few times, and I covered it with a fish net from my aquarium. I took it back upstairs and let it go outside, and it flew away to enjoy the rest of its life with some tall stories to tell the other birds about how it came face to face with one big window, three big cats and a hu-mon, and survived them all!
Spied (and captured) this juvee Grackle through the window after he's/she's given himself/herself a nice bath, and was putting the final touches on the date night outfit. I wish I could've gotten to the other side of the window, but that wasn't going to be possible.
If you hadn't seen a bird's ear, now you have..

(See Large)-No time to think or change settings, just grabbed and shot when i heard him flying by. Desaturated a bit, it gave it a smoother look. Lost some detail on high end, but not bad for a shot from the hip. -- For some reason, this Mallard hangs out in the redwoods, in our creek, he's becoming our resident duck.
