As gonzo as I am over the whole digiscoping thing, I find that I am going to have work on my awareness abilities when focusing on a view finder. The following series of photos inspired the last contest.

I was focusing on this downy woodpecker at a suet feeder, concentrating hard between frames to keep the swinging feeder in focus.

After I took the above image and the camera processed it, I was suddenly surprised by this in the view finder: A hairy woodpecker and a red-bellied woodpecker. I had no idea a red-bellied was in the vicinity until it popped on the view finder. Hmm, what going to happen during warbler season if I'm intently trying to focus on a black and white warbler...what if I miss a blackburnian warbler. I'm going to need to learn how to use the Force a little better and be more aware of the birds around me.

Anyway, as I was snapping these photos that's when I got the red-bellied sliver.
