Winter has set in, so I packed my Kodachrome Nikon, my APEX and a bag of seeds and went bird shooting. Them there chickadedededes love sunflower seeds, so I baited my weapon with seeds, and played the waiting game.

Hope you enjoy these pics!

Nature

Nice the way you incorporated your metal detecting equipment with nature, and got some awesome pictures. And one bird is eating out of your hand, love it.
HH everyone

The birds can be quite friendly in the winter. Easy food pickin's from a warm hand.

Does Garrett know about this? Those shots belong in their catalogs; front cover and the Apex pages. Nice teamwork with your critter friends John!

I sent them copies too. I am hoping one of these days I might get a photo in their calendar.

I think the audio of the pin-pointer is bird talk for something?
