Pics from my Feeder

I have my nice new camera this year, purchased for our trip to Machias Seal Island, and hope to use it more this winter to get pictures of our feeders.  Here are a couple of first attempts.

Tufted Titmouse

Red-breasted Nuthatch with seed in its mouth.  I so wish this were just a bit more clear.
They move so fast that it's very difficult to get a clear picture of them.

No Sea Bird

I convinced Mike to drive to the base of Lake Strom Thurmond on Friday.  A brown booby has been observed for two weeks there, ever since Hurricane Matthew blew through.

However, the winds were horrible.  Very high winds - so high that I could hardly hold my binoculars still.  No rare bird.

But it was a nice excursion!
