Thanks for taking time to look at the images, Chris. Birds, like
butterflies, demonstrate amazing stamina in their travels.

Thanks for those stories, Jim. There was such a contrast between placid Dove and weary
Grosbeak; such birds achieve amazing feats. Many birds migrating to and away from the UK
have to fly across areas where they are shot at by “hunters” despite their
small size. Malta, for instance.

These two images are from late yesterday and this morning, using the 1980 Leica
Telyt-R 250/4 and 2X Extender with the Oly E-M1. The Dove was well illuminated
and was cooperative. I liked the image.

Grosbeaks show up twice a year, during migration. They fly long distances in a
single day, and arrive exhausted. This male perched motionlessly for at least
15 minutes, just recovering, before he decided to feed. The light was poor,
and the feeder is shabby, but I wanted to capture the rose breast at least once
as they passed by.
