Much excitement today when the postman delivered more live mealworms, just as the starlings ordered.
They were ready to swoop in and find the little wrigglers, as you can see from this photo they didn't last long. We all had a good time, me clicking away while the birds came and went, the dog was captivated with all the activity and my husband was just delighted he'd had such a great idea. Simple pleasures.
Thanks to all who have commented and fav'd recent images, they're much appreciated :)
LOVE this image, but need more info -- like, you can just put in a mail order for worms? and how did you put them in a nest like thing, and why is that one eating so many at once, and and and -- I want to have birds in my yard like this! GREAT capture.
Goodness! How close do you get to the action with your camera? The focus is so sharp, yet with an f/5 aperture, and just a 300mm lens. My attempts at bird photography never come out nearly as well.
@inthecloud5 -- I ordered them and they are dried and in a bag. No takers yet although I put them out a couple of days ago. However, I DID capture a starling while outside of my front door -- soon to be posted!
