Sorry I missed this! Great shots Matt and Kelly. I love the Red Bellied shot and the exposure on that last Chickadee shot is astoundingly perfect.

We'll do it again, Joel, Kyle and Sandi (and anyone else who couldn't make it but would have liked to!) Agreed that Matt's last chickadee shot is the bomb! :up:

Here are a few more. (I'm waiting for permission to post a photo of Jr. Birdman Kerr, who prefers not to be photographed.) :cry:

We had a great time, and it was the first time I had birds land in my hand rather than just holding the camera the whole time.
Still a really cold 2nd trip for me this season, can't wait to go back in shorts and sandals!
