This is another series of screenshots from my birdfeeder camera. It has a wide-angle lens which distorts shapes, sometimes with amusing effects.
Here a tufted titmouse lands on the edge of the seed tray, interrupting the meal of a northern cardinal. The male cardinal can look quite majestic, but this lens makes him look like a big head on a round neck.
Tufty reconsidered his position and moved to the back perch.
Personal Note #1: It was cold today, well below freezing. My feeder camera stopped working, so I cleared a path through the snow to reach it. I tried to adjust the solar panel and cracked a piece of plastic. At that point, I decided it was too cold to troubleshoot, so I added birdseed to the feeder and went back in the house to get warm.
Personal Note #2: My younger daughter Marie, is back in Burbank. Wildfires are causing catastrophic damage in Southern California, but her town is safe at this time. If you have seen images of the fires, I know you are concerned for all the people and animals in that area. If you happen to live there, please be ready to evacuate if the time comes. Be safe!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteLove the bird photos, the feeder cam takes great photos. I hope your daughter stays safe, prayers to all those in the area and the fire/rescue workers. Take care, have a great day!
I like that wide angle view! Accentuates the tufts. Wonder if that would work as well for me. :-)
ReplyDelete...so this is what a sunny day looks like!
