Eastern Bluebird, Kennebunk, Maine, USA. I am, of course, getting lots of “bird-at-the-feeder” shots from my new photo blind. For the most part, unless it is a really rare bird, or a bird that I am unlikely to get a “better” shot of (better being perched naturally away from the feeder), you will never see my bird-at-the-feeder shots. However, sometimes there is a shot at the feeder that, to my eye, has enough redeeming value to be part of my published work 🙂 Like this one. Great flat light. Bird doing something interesting in an interesting pose, etc. Bluebirds love mealworms, and we put out dried mealworms, which we buy 5 pounds at time on-line, particularly to attract them. This is one of my new feeders, one of the few that I have found that will actually dispense mealworms reliably, and is at least somewhat squirrel proof. (If a squirrel attempts to hang off the perch to feed the whole outer shell slides down on a spring and closes the feeder port.) We also have a cup like feeder on our back deck but we only put out a few mealworms at a time there so the squirrels do not get in the habit of raiding it. (I have our squirrels pretty much “deck-trained” after years of effort…but that is a whole other story.) On an interesting technical note, I have had to create a processing preset in Polarr specifically for Bluebirds. The blue is just too blue, and if you add any “vibrancy” at all, you lose a lot of the feather detail. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
