    Another one taken with a lens not typically used for birding, the EF-S 15-85

    101 _MG_1168 - Version 2 by ahab1372, on Flickr
    only bad thing about this lens is that it makes me want to upgrade my telezoom to something better ;-)

    Very nice,
    It must have gotten fixed in the shipping to you. It never took good pictures like that when I had it!!!

    Couldn't be the photographer.......
    If you see me with a wrench, call 911

    I was so taken by Arnt's pic I forgot to ask the bird people. Last night a flock of swallow tail kites were circling over the pond near my house - had to about 80 or so. They were way to far away to get a decent pic, but I didn't think swallow tails "flocked"

    Any one know if they do/don't was this a rare occurrence or just I something my sheltered life kept me from seeing before?

    They tend to congregate in large groups like that around this time of year. There are apparently roosting sites that you can go find hundreds of them, I have yet to locate one though. It is on my to do list though because they are awesome birds.

    Feel free to send all your other lenses too, so that they get the magic USPS treatment. Then you can come any time and pick them up (but no need to rush, I'll be happy to keep them for you )
