WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO SHOOT PHOTOS OF BIRDS?

[Greg Shchepanek]

Hello Greg,
I am having great difficulty with this setting, taking several mins to upload an image, several mins to upload a reply, forever mins trying to go from one thread to another, I don't know how others are getting things done but I really struggle with the long waits, so I think I will opt for out and do no more.

You should talk to Shan (moderator) & Jack (owner) I don't want you to get discouraged and leave the community. They should be able to fix you up in the best ways to upload and mange files on the site. I do hope you get this solved @Shane1 I want very much to see your pictures From Down Under & you are a great resource and valued member of this community

Such a very beautiful & brilliant capture...the colour of the bird and that gorgeous red eye...you are so very lucky to have so many unique species on your doorstep...you have so very much new & amazing things to show us here

Karl has great advice about large images I down sample all of mine to post them on the site...you should give that a try @Shane1

On the look out, a Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata) surveys the area at the bird feeders of Shirleys Bay, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
