Ok so while in palm springs yesterday and today i shot some birds. These two I'm posting are from the balcony of my hotel room and the other one was from the living desert(great place to go shooting any desert animal).

What to do you think.

From the balcony:
Shot with the 100-400 no TC
Original Resized to 800x533

You did an excellent job with these. I'll warn you though, birding can be addicting. You'll get one shot then want to track down other birds. The catch is you've got the gear, so now there's nothing stopping you. There's no going back now. :)

I know exactly what you mean. After the second bird pic, i went into a bird cage at the Living Desert and was like 4 feet from birds standing on branches roadrunners running 10ft from me, i was in shutterbug heaven. I will post some shots after i finish some PP. I shot all day with the 100-400 with the kenko 1.4X TC with the tape trick. Worked out pretty good.

Nice shots, but the little hummer doesn't look too happy. Did you wake him up? :mrgreen:
