Challenge Winner – Birds in Flight, #12 Great Features Group There aren’t many things that bring me more joy than the companionship of the Black-Capped Chickadees that inhabit the woods behind our home. They visit us daily, and follow me along the trail whenever I go for a walk. I could be 3 property lines over and they will still follow me! It is not unusual for them to land on the end of my camera lens as I’m trying to frame a photo, or flutter around my legs, looking for their sunflower seeds. These little songbirds bring me more joy than I can ever truly express. What a gift they are! I would be filled with great sadness if they ever disappeared. They are a huge part of my passion for nature & wildlife photography and for capturing the beauty that surrounds us everywhere. This image was created by merging 2 of my chickadee in flight photos and then blending the sky together. Original images taken on my property in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. / / / More Chickadee Photos / View Renee Dawson’s Gallery / Image included in the CHICKADEE CALENDAR

This is from a songbird series I just completed for a local gallery. One of my collectors just saw it and asked me to make it available as a print. How can I refuse? Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks again for your interest and enthusiasm!

Mr. and Mrs. Bluebird work as a team when feeding their babies. Both are avid hunters, going wherever the pickings can be found. In this case, Dad’s serving up cricket casserole while Mom’s whipping up some spider souffle. Babies aren’t particular; they eat just about anything. I love watching this pair appear at the nestbox with a wide variety of fare. Dad tends to serve things on a larger scale while Mom offers daintier portions. I saw him with multiple caterpillars dangling from his bill; quite a feat to catch and carry but he does it expertly! It’s very rare that both male and female land on a given spot together so I spliced two photos together in order to convey the idea of their concerted efforts on behalf of their little family.

Every time I visit at my mother’s house, her resident female bluebird goes directly to my car and admires herself in the rear view mirror of my car. I finally got a shot of the little queen. I applied some PS filters for this effect. I thought it might bring a smile to someone’s face. When there isn’t any vehicle parked in Mama’s driveway, the bluebird opts for the mirror on Daddy’s truck or any window pane she can find to study her beauty for hours on end.

I was sitting near the bluebird house, hoping for a visit from the bluebirds, when to my surprise, this gorgeous male northern cardinal stops by for a visit. He sat long enough for me to snap several shots. / Northern cardinals are quite adaptable, able to live in hedgrows, woods, suburbs, and desert washes. It is our only crested bird with a conical beak, except for the Pyrrhuloxia fond in southwest. The bright red plumage and black throat is unmistakable in identifying the male. Cardinals dine on seeds, especially sunflower seeds, as well as insects. / / camera Olympus E-3 / lens Sigma 50-500mm f/4.0 / aperature priority / aperature f/8.0 / shutter speed 1/320 sec / ISO 200 / focal length 500mm / tripod/cable release used

This little finch found a place of safety on the bannister under my front porch during a chilly, rainy day. In fact, if you View Larger, you can detect a few raindrops on her tiny noggin. With her feathers all fluffed up, she looked cute and cozy and a bit plump so I called her Roly Poly. Maybe, like many of us, she’s thinking, “Got to shed some of that extra baggage in the upcoming New Year.” Oh, and one more thing, don’t you just love those tiny talons peeking out from her feathers? Looks like she’s just had a pedicure and she’s showing off her dainty toes!

this lovely lady is showmn with very little post processing. the interesting background is a result of lighting. it is somewhat dark in the pine trees where the cardinals like to sit, so to give myself enough light to capture them, I set up two spotlights to shine on the branches they like to sit on. I like the effect!!

This male Eastern bluebird delivers the grub to the babies in the nesting box in a far different fashion from the way the female operates. She dives into the opening, feeds the chicks, removes debris and waste, and exits in a flash. Her mate, on the other hand, lands on whatever nearby perch he can find, shows off the cricket, caterpillar, grub worm, or grasshopper he just succeeded in hunting down, looks intently in my direction, turns this way and that, and then delivers the goods to the babies. Afterwards, he often goes back to his perch, giving me a view of his beautiful self from every possible angle. Finally, he tires of all the posturing and takes off in search of yet more prey for the hungry nestlings. I think he’s got lots of personality and I love watching his antics.
