Superb shot of the yellow warbler, John! I would print and hang that one!

Wow! Great shots, Denise. I especially like the first two.

Thanks, Jon! I don't mean to hog the thread but yesterday and today I was able to get out and dodge a few raindrops.


Here are a few from today ...

These pale in comparison to the shots on this page. Great shots everyone. Both taken with a 70-200 f4L IS and with two 1.4x tc Kenkos

Nice shots Denise and Jayson. This is one from this evening in the backyard...it's an immature male Summer Tanager.

Oh thats a cool shot Joel! One thing I see on my screen is under the bird between it and the branch the noise is still present. I know your a perfectionist with that stuff, just wanted to point that out. Really nice grab. That blue jay shot above is awesome. I can only dream! Thanks for the complement on the one above.

I'm not sure what that second bird is Jayson but I sure wish we had those around here ...beautiful shot! The background beautifully compliments the subject!


Awesome Tanager, Joel! they sure are colorful! We don't those in my area either![]

Thanks Denise and Jayson.


You're right about the noise, I guess my eyes were fatigued last night and I didn't see it. This was a fairly large crop and the IQ suffered some but I had never seen a juvenile before so I kept it.


Yesterday was a very active bird day....the doves were extremely cooperative....

Great dove shots Joel. Sorry I didn't mean to nitpick. Your stuff always is inspiring. I had never seen one of those birds before so I guess that is why I was looking closer than normal. I snapped a picture of a western meadowlark the same day I caught the others. I have never saw one in real life before or maybe I just didn't look hard enough. This was again with the 2 kenkos stacked and a 70-200mm f4L IS and cropped heavily also. Going to get a 300F4 soon I hope.
