Visitors At the Bird Bath

Best on black I think. We are staying at a sweet little cabin in the middle of orchards and flowering plants. The owner has this beautiful huge inverted bell shaped watering spot right next to our lanai. All night and day it recycles the water making the see test sound of rain. The birds love it but mostly fly away when I come on their side of the screening but I did manage to get a few shots. Thanks so much for taking my mossy woods shoat to the TT. What a thrill. Thanks for your continued understanding of my absence from commenting. I think the birds are a saffron finch and a red chested cardinal
So beautiful!

I think the yellow ones a finch and could the other be a female cardinal?

Awesome capture! I love seeing bird mid flight. The overflowing water creates even more interest to your composition.

They are such pretty little birds, lovely capture :)

What's your locale, Jane? Not the right beak for a cardinal, might be some kind of grosbeak. I'm not sure about finch either... The color of the legs is a little different. Could be a meadowlark.
February 18th, 2016  
Maybe not a meadowlark, either. Some kind of warbler???

A super capture, great movement, colour and bokeh!

What a lovely capture - Fav

Your shutter speed is just perfect here to catch movement but not completely blur the wing. I don't know what these two cuties are, but it's a lovely shot.

@studiouno @wordsmith @lesip we got to look these up in a Hawaii bird book yesterday...saffron finch and red crested cardinal
February 18th, 2016  
Lovely shot, Jane. The slight blur of the bird's wing is so suggestive of movement and your focus is great.
February 18th, 2016  
How wonderful! You caught them just right. When you get home, I'd love to know where this place is and if you enjoyed it. Always looking for good spots to stay in Hawaii. Have a great time there!

@catwhiskers it is wonderful...rented through VBRO, just above Kealakekua Bay. The name of the owner is Charles Cope. I'll find out from him how to contact him if you let me know you would like that while I'm still here...another week

@jgpittenger That would be great Jane if you wouldn't mind getting contact info for me. We love the big island! I wish I was there right now:-)) Have a GREAT time!
