Really nice JJ....love that first one staring straight at you with all the feathers ruffled up.

Denise .. the silhouette is cool and great color on the grackle. I agree with you about Florida, the birds here are almost tame.

Sadly I am flying back to Ky this afternoon...I did briefly visit Ft. DeSoto State Park yesterday afternoon.....lots of birds there, need to return with more time.

Thanks Denise and Joel, in FL, not only lots of birds, also many different kinds of birds and easy to reach, indded the heaven of birds.

the EF-S 15-85 is not really a bird lens, but in some parks they are so close, I could not resist. Almost like shooting in a zoo
