Kitchen Door Birds

Last fall, I left my camera in Spain and have had problems getting it back. I replaced it with a mirrorless camera with a decent telephoto. Within a week or two, I knew it was too bulky and heavy for me. I replaced it last week with a Nikon COOLPIX P950 and so far, so good.

The weather has been cold, windy, and snowy – not the best environment for learning to use a new rig. So, I decided to shoot birds at the feeder through the glass storm door. Here are some of the usual suspects that are going through a lot of bird seed and suet.

And one of our favorite winter birds are the tiny Red-breasted Nuthatches.
