I saw a bird yesterday that looked similar to this, Im curious to what the name of it was. The bird had a bright orange body, with a black head and wings spotted with white markings. Anyone know what what it was and have a picture of one?

Post by: DragonSpeed on September 03, 2009, 10:18:42 AM: The tale of the goldfinch and the chickadee

She came in looking for a quick bite.
(http://www.fotothing.com/photos/7f2/7f26890fedad28c29c51f26a7a62de87.jpg)
but upon landing on the feeder, she was unhappy to see someone already at the feed:
(http://www.fotothing.com/photos/6cd/6cd0ad102e1108b8d4725ade3ef72428.jpg)
This litte guy would have none of her chattering or bullying.
His main problem was to figure out which of the thousands of seeds in front of him he was going to eat.

The goldfinch kept looking and chattering and trying to convince the chickadee to leave.
(http://www.fotothing.com/photos/a32/a3220787e25380520731b8c41c98fa39.jpg)

She was hungry and was really looking to get down and eat...
(http://www.fotothing.com/photos/ec0/ec076f0c9e0fd3316b2f471b0f0ec3e0.jpg)

Apparently she is more "bark than bite"
She resigned herself to sitting and waiting her turn while a very finicky chickadee indeed chose which seed to take away and chew on.
(http://www.fotothing.com/photos/7ef/7ef4965648357c8fef421de914f71320.jpg)

I think while I watched this, that it was the longest I've seen a chickadee think about which seed to eat. I'm not sure if he was doing it to spite the goldfinch. Despite the fact that there were 3 other feeder ports, she apparently really wanted this one.

And that is the tale of the chickadee and the goldfinch.

He kindly posed for me in the tree nearby... a bit dim in the morning cloudy day, but it turned out well

A first time sighting for me...

There was what appeared to be a Juvenile and an Adult in the ash tree...

They were both pretty backlit.... I had to pull the adult out at 1600 ISO... and blow the sky out something fierce. Some blooming or CA(I hope not) I think near the high contrast edges.

Juvie:

Here are some more of my pileated friend:

If you get tired of seeing this guy - just shout :)

These were shot with the 70-200... Love that nice narrow DOF!
Clicking on each shot will bring you to a LARGER version that is decidely nicer in sharpness/colour.

Title: Re: 2009 bird photographs
Post by: marmot on October 30, 2009, 08:53:09 PM: Eagleeye, an easy way to tell a golden from immature bald is the size of the head compared to the body. Bald eagles have pretty big heads compared to body size whereas the golden eagle's head is more typical raptor size in relation to its body.

We got lucky hiking up in the cathedrals....not only did we see a couple of goldens, we found a feather too :)

Yeah I think they grow to adult size pretty quickly with all the feed around. I think with adults there is quite a range of sizes. I've seen relatively small (still big) balds and some that are HUGE....you forget how impressive they are because this time of year there are so many around.

Jumpy little birds - and VERY pretty:

Took the kids out there the other day, my brother was sitting on the bench and a duck jumped right up on him, sat down, and looked at my brother as if to say "well? you gonna feed me or what?" Great time of year to see lots of birds out there.

From my birding haunt... the Reifel Bird Sanctuary again:

The Gadwall was a first time shooting... they are pretty shy around here. The scaups have always given me exposure problems with their dark blacks - seems to have been a bit better today. Enjoy!

1) Gadwall (male/female?):

Some Buffleheads from a visit to the Reifel Bird Sanctuary near Vancouver:

They are particularly skittish and don't like to come within 30+ feet of people. Their colouring is such that the best way to describe it is "Photographer's nightmare" due to the high contrast white and black. I was so happy that these two males came a bit closer but after a LONG wait.... Enjoy!

Things are much wetter now, so the photo ops are going to be fewer and farther between. Enjoy these!
