Taken today, at my jobsite. Most of these left long ago, but a small group just showed up and I was lucky enough to get close....too close for the scope I was using. I had to zoom the camera out so far that the image shows vignetting. Oh well.
Nikon 4300 with Swarovski ATS65 with 30x widefield Swarovski eyepiece.
Cheers,

I watch these birds and their antics probably more than any other. I had some pictures but lost them in a computer shuffle. Good to see someone taking pictures of them though and yours is a lot better than mine.

Pretty shot, Tyler. The vignetting frames the bird.
