Thanks Bill and Tadas for the nice comments. I think all the regular participants in this thread are posting images that demonstrate improvement over time. I am seriously considering putting together some type of "workshop" for song bird photography in Kentucky or perhaps the Ospreys in South Carolina. I have never done such a thing but I think it would be fun and really cool to meet some of the group in person.





This is a gull taken from a pontoon boat at Santee Cooper lake in South Carolina, took this with my trusty old 40D + 70-200mm 2.8L at 125mm iso 800 f/6.3 1/4000
