Congratulations Joel... those birds do tend to be very skitish.

Oh man. I get excited seeing the Pileated Woodpeckers from 100 feet away with my binocs. I can't image how I would feel if one landed on my perch with my camera at the ready. Awesome.

Agreed. Excellent shot, Joel. Nice when things work out like that.

these are the best shots i was able to get . it seems the focus isnt right if i try for anything far away. these were quite close at about 20 feet and i think the focus is as sharp as i can get with what i have.
shot with a t4i 75-300 III lense. 1/320 f9 iso 200 and 250mm

Blue Jay from today. Next step, get it to land on a natural perch.

Light looks great on the Bluejay, Nick

sedwards679, it is not easy to expose those shiny black birds right. I would maybe crop a little more

When is your calendar coming out again?
