Thanks for finding and sharing this with the crowd here at RTP. A few of his shots were amazing. The rest were simply terrific, especially the bird shots.

Is there any information on how he did it. They were wonderful. and Something you could try in your own backyard.

Great looking pics. He must know a really busy bird location where he shoots.

hey, I took another look at his bird photos and his web site and I was right he took them in his back yard, and right near were I live.

“Rick Lieder, the talented sf/f artist whose backyard nature photographs have stunned me for years, has released a new book of photos of small birds on the wing, shot in his own backyard in south Michigan.”

I wonder what lens he used?

Here is a Downy Wood pecker I took last spring.
