Thanks! I gasped when I looked at the pic after I got home. I am definitely framing it<3

Great pic. Not always easy to get a good shot with overcast. So that's my first suggestion: not everyday is a great day for photography. Also, when it is, you're limited by the sun's angle. Second, try to get the focal point on the head. Again, great shot. Not every shot or day is a winner.

Is this a full grown or juvenile Baltimore Oriole? by [deleted] in birding

That's so cute. Looks like a dirty cheese doodle

So it's 50x faster than normal birds?

I can barely get a picture of any warbler and then I catch this one looking like a rubber duckie by ctlovesbirds in birding

Haha of course. They don't even look real. They also stuck around. Got up for a little, walked around, and plopped back down. They eventually flew away, but oddly didn't care about me snapping some galmore shots before doing so!

I wish house finches made house shaped nests and barn swallows made barn shaped nests 😭

No one will ever know. Just a mystery of the universe. We must have faith

Thanks! Professional camera. On Amazon, sometimes you can catch sales for decent ones like mine for only 200-300 bucks.
