This was my afternoon set-up at the Cozad Ranch on May 4. The image was created with the handheld Canon 24-105mm IS lens at 32mm.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Notice that each of the four tallest perches is set in front of a pure green background and that we have taken the time to clean the edges of the far side of the tiny pond of all pebbles, roots, and seeds and to wet and smooth the red mud. <\/p>\n

As you look back at the images in previous blog posts from Texas and the images in BAA Bulletin #326 (link below) see if you can figure out which perch the birds were using in each photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was my morning set-up at the Cozad Ranch on the morning of May 4. The image was created with the handheld Canon 24-105mm IS lens at 24mm.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Note here that the feeding table has been removed from the set to keep the birds from landing on the legs of the table. Again, the tip of each perch has been set against a background of pure color; that did not occur by accident. The orange on our right was impaled on a stake and placed just far enough from the perch so that the golden-fronteds would have to stretch to reach it. We placed a lichen-covered branch in the hollow handle of the tiny tripod so that small birds coming to water might land on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This image was created on the morning of May 2 with the Canon 800mm f\/5.6L IS lens, a 25mm Extension tube, and the EOS-1D Mark IV. ISO 800. Evaluatve metering +2\/3 stop: 1\/80 sec. at f\/5.6. Fill flash at -2 stops with Better Beamer.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Bronzed Cowbirds are stunning with their bright red eyes and Victorian ruffs. <\/p>\n
