Just some quick pics from my phone through the binoculars.
Red Bellied Woodpecker was blocking all the holes on the tube feeder, and this little Wren really wanted access. It darted back and forth from my beanpoles to the woodpecker a dozen times, but the woodpecker did not show a care.
I really liked the vibe of the takeoff pic and the last one where it seems to be giving the stink eye to the RBW.

If not now, then wren?
😆
Sadly, I think the answer was “never.”
The wren finally gave up and took off, and naturually the woodpeacker left about 10 seconds later, finally giving way to the now non-present wren. Such is life.
Damn, that seems to work pretty well through the binoculars. Nice photos!
I’m still working on the fine tuning, as if it’s in focus with my eye, it’s not always the best with the camera, and then focusing the binoculars while the phone it then refocusing makes it a challenge to see when it actually is in focus, so some good shots get blurry. I’m working a little more on the parallax and testing if it works better with photos with the eye relief adjustment in/out. I’ve gotten some real great shots.
I was releasing some squirrels on my porch this weekend and was watching them get acclimated, so I was taking random photos while watching out the door.
Impressive photos, real cool.
Now i am curious what you released the squirrels from, why did you have them?
They’re rescues from the clinic I volunteer at. I posted a quick thing about them yesterday in talking about my various adventures of the day.
A lot of squirrels are getting big and ready for release. I asked where were my free squirrels, and I got sent home with the 3 troublemakers from the end of our shift.
I am giving them a soft release, so their cage will stay on my patio for a week and I’ll leave them food and water, but the door is open so they can come and go as they please until they venture off to the woods.
I thought they’d flee right when I opened the door, but they didn’t move. One of them was out exploring the patio and eating random birdseed and climbing in my beets, but they’re all in the cage napping now.
I had a ton of fun watching them, and I hope they do well and mingle nicely with my pre-existing squirrels.
Ah, alright that sounds great, so cool that you get to work with owls now too! I am also volunteering in animal help, but with normal pigeons, not superb owls 😆 Also all really awesome people involved there, quite happy i slid into this (by catching a sick pigeon and looking for help).
That is funny that the squirrels keep chilling in the cage! Are they still there today?
