Same one, same day, different pic! I haven't seen him since.
I took a Northern Cardinal picture today that I think came out really well.
I took it with a 60D, 135L lens, f/5.6, 1/800 second, and ISO 200. Post process was to crop and resize / sharpen for web posting.

Nice Cardinal...there's that 135mm lens again....if you de-saturate the reds a little it will bring out some detail. Nice shot.
Good tip, Joel. I like this one better with less saturation. I shot JPG instead of RAW so I had to edit the shot I posted earlier.Nice Cardinal...there's that 135mm lens again

dsiegel, this is one of my favorite shots. How did you get the "models" to line up so nicely?
Here is a shot of three turkey vultures striking the pose. Not as pretty as the geese, I wonder if I always going to get the weird shots (crane eating a rat, vultures... well, there was actually a dead racoon right next to these three guys):

Weird or not, the crane and turkey vulture pictures you've posted are both good... and both probably hard to come by to be honest.

Thanks Dave,
I have to admit that I was very lucky with these shots. They were both within a mile of another on the same day at the San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail. There is a bike trail right next to the creek, and animals are very used to people so I could get close enough for the 55-250. All I had to do was get off my bike and take the camera out, and fortunately I didn't screw up the settings completely in all the excitement.
And then today I took some pictures of a hawk flying directly over my head - might be too underexposed against the overcast sky, I haven't had the time yet to load into the computer. But if that comes out ok, I fear that after so much beginner's luck there will be a looong dark period with only dull and boring shots
