Hey no fighting at the table

The starlings have been pigging out all day and it is just wearing Two out. She tries to cuddle with me and they start a fight and she charges to the window. This is her few through a snow splattered window. First time I used the shorter zoom on the new camera. This shot is not cropped. Oh and a funny story. I haven't been able to get the tripod foot off my old camera for about two years. Well opening jars has become hard too. I a jar opener and it worked to remove the tripod foot. So guess I I need to keep a jar opener in my bag - works on filters too.

I shoved twice 4 inches and 5 inches and it is still coming down and will for several more hours,
Lovely shot, must be so frustrating for her.

Cool shot! The birds have been eating like crazy all day at our feeder during this storm.

Congratulations on this shot, Joan. Your new camera certainly is the whizz biz.

Starlings just seem to eat and squabble! Poor Two, hope she gets some quality cuddle soon. Congrats on the tripod tool :)

@vignouse I am loving the instant focus of this new camera though this was manual focus.

Love this - they are busy! So sorry about the shoveling but well done on the tripod and filter discovery!

Good thought about the jar opener - may have to try that - neat picture catching these non-stop feeders. Didn't take you any time to look like a pro with that new camera.

Great!

Hahaha! Love your story about getting the tripod foot off! I use my jar opener for everything. I have no hand strength. Great shot, too. Glad to see you are surviving all the snow. My family in MA got 18 inches.

Thankfully this storm bi-passed us. I am with Two- I hate starlings and would be running out there to chase them away from the feeder all day!

Your processing is perfect for this -- or your use of the snow.

Marvellous shot

I don't know how I missed this one. Your new camera does good. I'm glad the jar opener worked for you.

We had some starlings try to build a nest in our porch area. Ignore it down but they kept five bombing is every time we stepped out on the porch. We finally bought a fake owl and hung it up. Problem solved.
