Nikon 1 V3 for Birds | House Finch Small birds like this House Finch can be challenging to capture even with a long, fast lens. The Nikon 1 V3 with the 70-300mm lens allows for a 810mm effective focal length. It’s a long, not so fast lens at f5.6, but a very sharp lens. Still, it takes some practice to get a tack sharp image shooting handheld. To bring these cute colorful birds to your backyard, fill your backyard feeders with small, black oil sunflower seed. If House Finches discover your feeders, they might bring flocks of 50 or more birds. Actually, my backyard feeder is a general outdoor bird feed which contains some sunflower seed. They show up by the dozen in the winter. For the whole story with all images, see Nikon 1 V3 for Birds | a 7 Image Story.
