Thanks, Arnt! The birds are most definitely back in town and I guess some ground rules are getting laid down!

Another shot from today ...

Thanks! I use the 100-400mm for a vast majority of my bird shots. A longer lens is on my "dream on" list!

FYI - They have a live webcam above the Cornell University Athletic Fields where they are streaming a pair of red-tailed hawks. It's pretty cool to watch when there is some interaction between the two and when it gets closer to the eggs hatching (there are two of them that I saw).

Just a little Chickadee, but he kept landing next to me to check out what I was doing... I had to take the shot.

He was begging you to take the picture. I say give him a print!

Very nice, Pat! I always have a tough time exposing these little guys correctly and you have done a fantastic job!
