kinglets and a bushtit

the sun made an appearance this afternoon after over a week straight of rain, so i took advantage of the break and went back to a small park near a pond where i'd had good luck before. here are a couple of shots from the afternoon...

Nice job! I just got my new 7D Mark II on Wednesday, and am dying to try it out. I'll be working most of the weekend, so it may have to sit a while.

thanks, Beekeeper! congrats on the new toy... you're gonna love it!

I think so Rocky. I ended up buying a new one for two reasons: Canon didn't have any refurbs in stock when I went to order it, and I have talked with a few people who had issues with Refurbed Mark II's. It seems from what I have read the new 7DII's don't have the focus issues some of the earlier cameras did.

Nice ones Rocky.

Very nice set Rocky. Both are hard to photographs to get a decent pics of them. Well done

All nice, but I think your second shot of the Bushtit sets the standard. Tack sharp. Exposure perfect. Engaging subject.
Well done.

Very well done Rocky. I just looked up Bushtits to find out about the eye color. Apparently the females are the ones with the white eyes.

thanks, guys!
