With all that going on and the sun out, it hit 40 Deg F and it really felt like spring had finally arrived. It was a tough winter like I hadn't seen in a while, but it just makes you enjoy spring all the more.
Sorry I did not take pictures... I just want to watch and enjoy.

that is an amazing time...started here about 10 days ago and today it was close to 70 degrees and the birds are getting very vocal in advance of breeding very soon. It will be peak time for the backyard in about 4 weeksQuote:

Spring is definitely in the air. Here is a BIF of the local parking lot cruiser.

I am experimenting a little with higher F-stops than usual and with the 2X converter....I like the extra DOF and I don't appreciate any loss of detail due to diffraction.
The technique only works if the bird sits very still for a few seconds, otherwise the slow shutter speed won't be adequate.
