Post your best bird shots!

[Joel Eade]

A little taste of winter here in southern Ky today....makes the birds really hungry and allows me to see how the 1DMKIV will do at ISO 3200!















Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking....Happy New Year!

Everglades, FL. GBH and a Purple Gallinule. 7D and EF 70-300L.

I've been gone from the forum for awhile. Nice to be back.

Welcome Back KingB! Nice images from Fla....every time I am there I am amazed how close you can get to the birds. Here in Ky a blind and camo is essential to get close shots and even then sometimes the least little movement will frighten your subject away.

Thanks Joel. It really is true. Here's a (snowy?) egret that was going from shore to shore harassing a cormorant and an anhinga that were diving. It paid no attention to me!

Nice tufted titmouse. You really should think about self publishing a bird book.

Thanks...sounds like a fun project, perhaps a good "New Year's Resolution"

Not a bad lens, is it?
