The birds have been all over the feeders today, I think they are preparing for the cold weather that is due this weekend.
I used the 70-300 lens to try for a closeup. The aperture would not go lower than 6.5 even though it is supposed to be able to go down to 4.5. Maybe that is due to my shutter speed setting. It would have been a better choice to use a lower aperture to have more of the bird in sharp focus.
