I'm not very good at that unless they are the regular ones. Robins, redwing blackbirds (which we have scads of) gold and other finches, the odd blue jays, and up here brown birds (which I had to Google a year or so ago). Your pictures are still nice and your readers have good suggestions for using your camera.

Must be a way to adapt some kind of unobstructive mount to your chair which can hold a DSLR camera and appropriate lenses. When I Googled 'camera mount for wheelchair photography' there seemed to be a number of mounts available. As you know photography is a great hobby so you don't want to miss out on that.Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-51259744475542361122019-05-16T16:43:17.754-04:002019-05-16T16:43:17.754-04:00I like the goldfinches.

You would still need to be able to adjust the settings unless you shot in P or a constant mode, maybe the arm would adjust up or down for that. A smaller lighter camera, on this system, would that work?Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-73124347081274707632019-05-16T12:13:37.802-04:002019-05-16T12:13:37.802-04:00I love drawing birds to the yard...
