Post your best bird shots!

I have not done a lot of bird photography, so this must be my best so far. A little sparrow from when I was on Mallorca a week ago.


Canon 1000D, EF-S 55-250mm
1/125sec, f11, ISO100

That qualifies you as a true photographer, I quote "True photographers don't care about resolution!"....[;)] Where ever I heard that from, mabye Ken Rockwell...[:P]


John.

Just thought this thread needed a hummingbird to spice it up a little [;)]

This youngster (Red tail hawk) keeps coming back to roost in a big pine behind my house allowing me to get some really close shots.

It looks much better in Flickr lightbox; http://www.flickr.com/photos/29409592@N03/5844248500/in/photostream/lightbox/


Thanks for looking

Bill, awesome shots of the Juvi Red Tailed hawk, really nice opportunity.


This is a Raven I took while on my golf trip to Scotland using the 1D3 and the 28-135mm f/3.5 lens .... he was begging food from my caddie!

I know they could use a little more PP, but I am happy so far. This is 300mm with Kenko 1.4x TC. Anyone know the bird ID?

Bill W, that hummer is awesome. Great shot. Joel, that Raven is pretty great. Hopefully you fed him well or he might just carry you off. Looks big!


Mike those shots are killer. Great angle. Denise very nice GBH shot. Those guys are tricky to catch...at least in my neck of the woods.

Bill - Wonderful hawk photo! I am very envious!!! I shot alot of hawk photos this weekend but too much cropping was needed and they were all tossed :(


Joel & Jayson - Very nice! Jayson, I'd say your new toy looks to be a definite keeper!


So far, this is all I have from the weekend ...
