Bluebirds at Pocahontas State Park

Our annual camping trip to Pocahontas State Park resulted in some very lucky Bluebird visits! All photos taken with a Fuji X-t5 and Fujinon XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens.

Hummingbirds

We have had a few of the beautiful hummingbirds recently – they are not very shy and visit the feeders even when we’re just a few feet away

Cumberland Island – 2023

We drove down to Cumberland Island for a 4 day camping trip. The catbird and Carolina Wren below birds were quite friendly, and I heard (but never saw) a few new birds too. Such a beautiful place!

All photos taken with the Fuji X-t5. Birds with the Fuju 70-300, trees with the 14mm f/2.8.

The trees were magical, live oaks covered in moss

I’m currently renting the Fuji X-t5 to compare it to my x-t2 and wow, what an upgrade. Primarily the low light support, autofocus, and focus tracking / object identification make birds in flight easy. All of these had IBIS and OIS on, and were shot hand held.

All photos taken with the Fuji X-T5 and the Fuji 70-300.

Golf Course Birds

A nearby abandoned golf course has great biking and lots of good opportunities for birding. This was my first time out with the Fuji 70-300 with the 1.4x teleconverter. It’s not as sharp as I want, I think I’ll use the tc a bit more sparingly.

All photos taken with the Fuji X-t2, Fujinon 70-300, and Fujinon 1.4x teleconverter, in Chesapeake, Virginia.
