Pictures : I was out looking for butterflies yesterday and I only had the 7D Mark II with the EF 300 mm lens with me. While out, I walked in an area that had some Lesser Gold Finches flying around, so I give it a try. The first image is the shot I got and was thinking I won’t get much out of this, but I did get it to clean up pretty well, I think. Please click the images a couple of times to get the bigger pictures.
Before.
After. Not the best shot I have ever taken, but I was pleased that it cleaned up as well as it did.
Here’s a grasshopper, also taken with the 7D mark II and EF 300 mm F/4 lens.
Silver City : I had planned on going to Silver City today, but I put that off until tomorrow. I’ll spend a bit of time up there, going to the VA, stop in at Walmart (it is a bigger store than the one here), stop by Harbor freight and the Hardware store (it’s a bigger store too). Plus, it is about 3 hours of driving for me, I don’t go very fast
Have a nice day Folks
P.S. Tomorrow’s Pictures, Will be more (Butterflies Gone Wild)!

The ‘hopper really knows how to blend in! The Mexican Generals would stand out in that same venue.

Thanks, Judie. It does blend in well, about the only way I notice these guys was because they hop.

Your clean up job paid off with that nice shot of the Lesser Goldfinch, a bird that we don’t see in the East.

Thanks, Hien. I have a few shots of the American Gold Finch, and they are known to be here in the winter, but I have never seen one since being out west. We have the Lesser all year round here.
