I was about ten or twelve feet away, zoomed in. I took it with my new digital Canon PowerShot A720 IS 'point and shoot' that my husband ordered for me. I LOVE it! I think it is going to be a great replacement for my old Fuji FinePix. I haven't had a lot of time to experiment with it yet, but it is supposed to have real good macro capabilities and I love taking close-ups of flowers and insects and dew drops. This is going to be fun when I have time to play with it.
I went out to check on my birds this morning. Mama is on the nest and Papa is tending to mama by bringing her food....(I may have the genders mixed up. Still can't tell who's who or which is which, but I am assuming that "mama" is sitting on the nest). I don't know when she laid her eggs, so I don't know how much longer until we have hatchlings. But it shouldn't be too much longer. I will be taking more photos after the babies emerge.
Have a lovely day, jaycee!
I do not know for sure but I find that in most species of birds, the male is the prettiest....don’t understand it but I am comparing redbirds and the Eastern bluebirds. The males are the prettiest of the two! Go figure!
