Yard Digiscoping - 06 Jun 2017


There's nothing like sitting in the back window with the scope and digiscoping yard visitors. Having just chased the raccoons from the feeders I settled back and waited for Ruby-throated Hummingbirds to make an appearance.



A handsome male Baltimore Oriole made an appearance at the jelly feeder. Nice to see someone other than the raccoons enjoying the jelly.



Even the House Finch looks nice through the new scope.


A Chipping Sparrow appeared under the birch tree, but I was too slow to get a focused image.

Later on a pair of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks made an appearance, while the Eastern Towhee continues to call from the back lot.
