I was hoping to catch a pair of Canadian Geese on the water, even for a little bit, but they were to sharp eyed, and fast. I was able to track one free hand and got this shot. I printed it at 13 x 19 on my Canon i9900 and it looks nice . . . if you do not stand too close.

Tammie . . . this one is flying to the right side of me, not away from me, lol.

20D/100-400

Wow, we can see his head. LOL. Looks like you're getting the hang of the flying bird shot. Those geese sure are pretty.

Nice shot . . . what is it? A shore type bird or? I think it one we have not. You must have the 70-300 on for this?

Do you use your 50/1.4 very much. I have one and try to use it all I can. I suppose I will have to have a 50mm day and leave everything else home. This makes for for interesting and unusual shots I have found. When you have to make do and change up your work you will find 'new' ways and different looks . . .

Nice shot . . . what is it?

It's a killdeer, and a great shot if it, too!

That's the lens I had on and I didn't change it for fear the bird would exit before I made the switch. I like my 50mm for portrait work and I take a lot of pictures of my grandson with it. I am still pretty new with this camera and lenses...only 2 weeks so I have tons to learn. Went to the mountains today and shot a ton of the wildflowers using my Tamron...I was pretty pleased with them. I have 2 weddings in April so I am committing myself to 2 hours/day practice shooting....darn:)

I know most of my birds from the back side . . . as many point out to me. Nice shot . . . both of them. Too bad about you Having to shoot a couple of hours a day . . . that must 'hurt.'
