Our weather has taken a decided turn colder. With the colder weather the beginning of whitetail rutting activity has became noticeable. This evening I joined Willard in hopes of having an opportunity to photograph some of the early rut activity.
The Tufted Titmice were busy feeding on a sunflower head tacked to a nearby tree. This particular bird paused on an overhanging branch long enough for me to capture its image with the 400mm lens combined with flash from a Canon Speedlite.

Perfect capture. They flit so quickly that I think its great you got him posing like that.
I like this titmouse photograph.
I just finished three photos yesterday and will have at least one up soon. I think they are really nice birds who can eat things as large as peanut kernels.
Great photo, a close up of a titmouse requires a different strategy than the elk. Our weather has turned for the colder too ... they are calling for a record low tomorrow night of 47 degrees. We'll see.
Just beautiful! It's snowing here today. Not sticking yet, thankfully. That would make for a miserable drive tomorrow.
Salty: What a neat capture of a beautiful singer, the prettiest in the woods.
These are one of my favorite birds! This is a fabulous capture!
