Yardbirds (near Seattle WA), December-March, 2010-11
Birds I photographed in our yard between December and March, 2010-2011. Most photos were taken with a Nikon D300 w/ 300 f4 lens, usually with a tripod. For some I used a 200-400 f4 lens, which also works better on a tripod though can be hand-held for a while.

Birds I photographed in our yard between December and March, 2010-2011. Most photos were taken with a Nikon D300 w/ 300 f4 lens, usually with a tripod. For some I used a 200-400 f4 lens, which also works better on a tripod though can be hand-held for a while.
