Wonderful sight 😊
Thank you so much, Ahtees!
How absolutely awesome!
It was so cool! I was back there on Saturday and it was just as fun and delightful. Images coming! 🥰
what a delight!!!!
Wow! How did you take a one-handed photo?
I know right! It was amazing! The Lumix
FZ200 weighs with the battery less than a pound so I was able to easily handhold it with my right hand and depress the shutter. I’m really glad it has a short minimum focus distance!
Thank you, Jennie!
You’re welcome, Deborah! What great new camera.
Love it! Such a beautiful little bird!
They are delightful! Thank you Kendal!
Welcome!
Great pic, especially with a winter backdrop!
Oh wow! What an amazing experience!!
It was the neatest thing! Thank you, Amy!
Awesome, Deborah, this made me smile big! ❤
I am glad to have made you smile!😄
You fed a wild bird AND took the photo. Wonder Woman indeed!

It was the neatest thing! I have no idea who started feeding these Chick-a-dees in winter, but they know if you stand there with your hand out they’ll come and eat.
My little FZ200 has a close focus range so I was able to get the bird in focus and it’s so light I could hand hold it without any issues at all.
I’m amazed that you were able to work your camera with just one hand! Great shot of a lovely little bird.
I was so happy to have the little FZ200 Lumix with me. It’s so light that holding it and working it with one hand wasn’t an issue at all.
I’m hoping to get back up on this mountain one more time before they migrate north.
That is so neat! Not many wild birds are so trusting.
I know right! I don’t know who started feeding them, but they know it happens on this mountain and if you hike up high enough to where they are and stand there with your hand open with seeds they’ll come. It’s been happening for years I’m told.
That’s nice! The bird colours neatly with the surrounding snow and shadow. That little nails of the toes balancing on your hand. You must be a bird whisperer. 🙂
Their little feet tickle a little and are cool to the touch. It’s a surprising feeling, but it was so neat! I wish I was a bird whisperer! 😀
I love this, Deborah. Can’t imagine a wild bird landing on a hand. Even with food.
I know! I was skeptical of it, but they really did fly down from the trees and eat out my hand and my two friend’s hands too. It was incredible!
Magic.
It was! You named it perfectly.
😀
Oh wow! That is so very cool. I’m amazed you were able to get a picture. What a great encounter.
It’s going down as one of the most amazing encounters I’ve ever had. I really don’t care too much for Lumix FZ200, but I like it fine for this. It has a close enough focus distance that I was able to get the bird in focus, and it’s so light I can handhold and operate it one handed.
I’m looking at jumping into mirrorless, but the rig I’m looking at wouldn’t be this light or focus this closely so the Lumix will stay in in my line up.
Our daughter went mirrorless a couple of years ago. She loves that camera. It’s smaller and lighter than her DSLR, but probably still too big for this. Although, she would have used her phone.
One of the friends I was with used her cell phone to take pictures of the chick-a-dees in her hand.
Did Faith go with a Sony system?
I want a lighter birding kit. I’m keeping my dslr and wide angle lenses for it.
She has the Panasonic Lumix system
There’s a surprise! I picked Fugi I can’t wait for it to get here! We two are odd ducks I suppose. 😉
Or maybe you’re two people who know enough to research your selection. She’s had hers for a several years.
This answers the question about whether you took the picture with the camera in your right hand. I sometimes do that with my full-size DSLR stabilized against my forehead.
The Lumix fz200 is so light it’s easy to hold it and shoot one handed, but I haven’t tried it with my DSLR.
WOW!
I know! I said the same thing over and over. 😀
An exceptionally beautiful photo, Deborah! Such trust! And you are so kind to share your trail mix 🙂💕
They didn’t like the trail mix. They only liked the shelled sunflower seeds and even then they would throw some over board! Picky, Picky…or saving some for later? 😉 It was an amazing experience.
