Post your best bird shots!

Mike, Great Shots---The first is my favorite, but in the 6th, the birds head almost seems transparent---really great capture.

Do I dare post after photos like that!? I hope to be that good someday but in the meantime, I'll just keep on shooting and posting...

Thanks guys!


Denise - I used a 7D with a 300 f/2.8 IS and 1.4 TC for most of those pics. The loon coming out of the water was taken with my 1D MK1 and a 70-200 f/2.8 IS. And I like the Heron but try to get a lower angle next time, it makes a huge difference. The motion is well documented and the exposure is spot on.

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.

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]

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.

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!
