Post your best bird shots!

European starlings recently returned to our bird feeder and here are a couple poses. Both are at 250mm and f/8.

First, looking to the side.

Thanks for viewing.

I like the shots Dave. Did you shoot with the "good old" 55-250?

Yes, I did! I've given some thought to upgrading to the 70-200 f/4 non-IS for general use telephoto zoom and improved backyard setup, and may do so before the B&H sale ends on 1/5, but the 55-250 is capable of some really good shots sometimes.

I already have 1.4X II extender.
