Swarming at the Feeder 2

We got a new bird feeder and the swarm of finches (I think) that descended on one of our trees last week, has returned for a feeding frenzy. Ate the double feeder down in two days! They are so fun to have appear this time of year! I can't figure out what I should do to get more of them in focus given I already boosted the ISO high enough that I didn't want to make the aperture narrower to extend the dof. Advice?

Wow. I think of finches as more solitary. I like how you've captured all the birds in various points of movement. That must be some yummy food!

Amazing photo, Jane - so many birds and such great action! Enjoy the holidays!

What a great shot! I love the ones in mid-flight!

[Ross Walker]

I wouldn't change a thing. I love it. Also, I don't think there is a focus problem at all, just some softness due to the movement that is a big part of the charm of this photo.

This is a great shot....at a guess I would say Pine Siskins with all that yellow showing! They, like finches, feed in groups. Fav
PS saw it on PP.

[Ann Jones]

Yes, this really is a feeding frenzy! I love the frantically flapping wings of the two birds at the bottom of the shot that have not managed to find a space on the feeder! Fav Congrats on PP
