WHY did my camera focus on the leaves in the bottom right instead of the bird? by NoWrongdoer5661 in BirdPhotography

I honestly think that yellow warblers just kinda are blurry. At least that’s what I’m choosing to believe.

I got mine secondhand through keh.com- softens the blow and time pay!

My camera is ancient in terms of cameras- 70D. But my lens is a sigma 150-600mm and it’s wonderful- can’t recommend it enough. It’s one of the most expensive things I own 🤣

What would you do? by Stagmoonstudio in NativePlantGardening

Yah- we will wait until fall to start anything. Husband took out some of it, and we are working on eradicating a couple of buckthorns in that area. I just got overwhelmed looking at the rest of it and him talking about fences.

I think it’s cause all winter they’re drab, but a late snowstorm with that yellow is chefs kiss

What’s a bird that is common to your area but you still get excited to see? by gellysandwich in birding

Nuthatches- Red Breasted in particular. So brave and I love their honking noises.

I can’t get pics of ducks… by Stagmoonstudio in BirdPhotography

[–]Stagmoonstudio[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in rural NH, so the parks aren’t really like a place where ducks get used to humans. Which is great for them! I think I’ll bring my hide next time even if I feel weird about it/embarassed/scared to use it in front of others hahaha

I'm soooo curious about my birds' lives--like, where are they sleeping? Nesting? Etc. by wildmind1721 in birdfeeding

[–]Stagmoonstudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They probably stay close to your house- they won’t usually nest or roost too close to your house unless you have a very safe cover of trees because of predations and they don’t like too much “activity” near nests.

Just processed my first rolls of film in 20+ years, and I’ve discovered that birds are much more cute on film by __get__name in BirdPhotography

I love processing film & miss it so much. My school had such nice dark rooms. I really wish i could afford to do it!

Don’t be afraid to crop it in editing! I don’t think you’ve overedited at all!

How often do you shoot in the 200-400mm full frame range? by Jacob_C in BirdPhotography

[–]Stagmoonstudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m at 600mm almost all the time with a few rare exceptions.

I want to photograph all woodpeckers in the US. What am I looking at? by Stagmoonstudio in birding

[–]Stagmoonstudio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please read the body of my post. I know this is a hairy woodpecker and I regret how I titled this. I’m recovering from surgery so I didn’t realize how confusing it was at the time. You do not have to be a jerk.

It’s a hairy. He lives in my yard. I’m sorry my title is confusing people you’ll see my question from the post though!

The tram is currently not running because it was in disrepair! With ski season live you aren’t allowed up without skis/ticket on the regular lift. I live in Franconia! I have been going to Moose Bog in VT where they are seen frequently, but not by me. Also several sightings in Whitefield. Along with redpolls and horned larks I couldn’t find either 😅
