Backyard Birds Photo Gallery by Tom Conelly at pbase.com

Backyard Birds

This gallery is all birds shot either on our land in rural Pennsylvania or at an adjacent lake in Yellow Creek State Park.

Most of the photos were taken with the Canon D60 camera and Canon 300 mm F4L IS lens, many with 1.4 extender for 420 mm (672 mm in 35 mm equivalence). A few recent photos were taken with the Sony H5 using a 1.7x extender (teleconversion lens), which gives the Sony a 35 mm equivalent reach of 734 mm

Many of these were shot during cold weather (no leaves so birds more visible) through the glass of house windows. This softens the images some, but opening windows in cold weather causes 'heat shimmer' that can sometimes distort images even more.
