Here is a shot I took of a baby robin in a nest in my backyard bush. There are actually two in the nest but I guess only one was hungry!

That is so cool. What a great shot. Is that with the new Sigma?

Thank you! No, that one was taken with the Canon 135mm.

Nice shot, Joel! Your lighting is spot on! Sure looks like you get pretty much every variety of songbirds in North America in your backyard! All I ever really get is cardinals, sparrows, finches and chickdees and the only ones with much color are the male cardinals and goldfinches!

Thanks Denise, I have been consistently feeding them for several years and my house backs up against about 5 acres of woods and then farmland all around us so we have alot of wildlife close by.

A couple Blue Herons from a kayak trip this moring:

I wish the legs were not cut off on this one, but it was unavoidable with the angle I was given. I posted it because I liked the way he puffed up his head feathers (it went punk rocker on me).

Very nice, I like the softer light on the 2nd one. They are both posing nice for you.....so often they seem to look away and you got a good head angle on both!

Ummm....WOW.....

Both are great but I especially like #1..great lighting and color.
