Bushtit In An Oak Tree – Skywatch Friday #24

A Bushtit Foraging In An Oak Tree On Christmas Morning by Larry Jordan

When I went out this beautiful Christmas morning, I had an oak tree just teaming with hungry Bushtits.  This is one of the shots I captured with my new Nikon D90.

Make sure you check out the other Skywatch Friday photos!  And have a Joyous Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah.

    Wonderful to see this tiny bird against the blue sky. I have never seen a Bushtit before, so it is a christmaspresent for me.
    Thank you for sharing.

    Enjoy the camera! I love how you got a bit of blur on some leaves, crystal clear on others. Beautiful bird.

    @Imac I love your series on your site. Can’t wait for the next one

    @Arija they were moving rather quickly but I figured if I took enough captures, I would have a good one. Thanks for stopping by

    @ Rune have a wonderful New Year yourself

    @ Hartmut I love your shots of the country and buildings there in Norway

    Lovely bird picture! Of course you have a great camera using the D90 (I use the D80). Did you used a 300mm for this shot, our more?

    @Dirk the lens is a Nikkor AF-S VR Zoom 70 – 300mm f/4.5-5.6 G IF-ED. I am looking to try digiscoping with a Celestron C90 scope as soon as I get the adapter. Should be fun!

  • Joan December 26, 2008, 9:02 pm

    Congrats on the new camera Larry. I look forward to seeing your photographs!!
