Post your best bird shots!

I would crop out the dark part on top of the frame.

Yeah, I thought about that but I like the way it is framed as it is. I have a few pictures that need to have some editing done to them.


The backround on this is nice.

Went out with the boys to see ice fishing on a pond near by and happened to see a couple of Jays looking for nest material. Happened to have the camera handy and caught this picture. Taken with XTi, 70-200 f4 L IS with Kenko 1.4x extender at f5.6, 280mm. Cropped pretty heavily, I believe ISO 400.

Thanks Brendan, here's another one with the same setup taken this morning.[img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.32.28/_5F00_MG_5F00_6875.jpg[/img]

Awesome! I also use a setup; but anything besides titmice, chickadees and nuthatches are usually too shy. How do you attract woodpeckers and cardinals? Please explain your technique, I am intrigued! I'm sort of a beginner at this; your shots are, again, awesome.


Here's my favorite shot so far (I've been using a DSLR for four months). I believe I've already posted it in this thread, but I don't see any problem in posting it here.


Canon 7D + 300mm f/4L IS USM


f/5.6, 1/200, ISO 320. Manual Exposure, Handheld.
