Dark-eyed Junco, slate-colored sub-species. Kennebunk Maine, USA. This is \u201cfirst fruits\u201d from my new bird \/ photo blind in our back yard. I put out my pop-up turkey hunting blind and 2 squirrel proof bird feeders and a suet cage within another cage, again to discourage the squirrels, under the big pine along the boarder of our yard in the back. The Chickadees found the feeders first, of course, but in 2 hours of sitting in the blind yesterday afternoon I had opportunities to observe and photograph several species at close range. It works amazing well. This Slate-colored Junco is a bird that is around the yard all summer, and occasional up on our deck under the feeders there, but this is the first decent photo I have gotten. I will be spending a lot of time, these next weeks as we wait out the pandemic, in my blind. One afternoon was enough to convince me it will work. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo. <\/p>\n
