thanks Steve. I can't believe this is a $500 lens. Well, $1,000 actually, since I had the 1.4 t/c attached.

Thanks Mike. Got this one in Marin County. Lots of flowers and hummers.

where can I see pics without the TC?

Outstanding shot of this beautiful looking Crested Caracara, Bill! Very sharp image, and it stands out quite nicely.

Very sharp image, Kirk! I really like the intensity of this bird's stare.

Nice capture. Ted. The vulture should be advised to maintain a safe distance from the eagle.

I like the alert pose of the hen wood duck, fotoi! Very nice sharpness and detail!

Stunning, Ken! Gorgeous color!

What a lovely, colorful image, Paul! Very attractive.

Many thanks Mike.
The critters like those showy berries.
When crushed they emit a smell similar to wintergreen.

that's a very attractive photo Mike
I love the colours and details in the plumage.
Certainly a beautiful species

That look in its eye is intriguing. Not sure what to make of that Summing you up?

Paul this is so lovely. Bird and photo.
Composition is excellent

Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo ~ Calyptorhynchus funereus
a group of these lobbed up at lunch time and muttered away outside the house.
I wandered out and grabbed a few photos before they eventually flew off.
This is right outside our house about 10 metres from it

A huge crop with this one. Why do I always have the "wrong" lens on my R5? I thought there was only one sparrow when I took the photo. Got it on the iMac and realised there were four. Needed my longer lens.

Thanks, Mike. I just hope I didn't over sharpen it. Over sharpening seems to be a common mistake in editing and I used to be really bad at it. Yep, those ospreys have quite the stare ... and talons!

I went back to the same bridge as yesterday and to my surprise there was another great egret underneath it but I used my exp. comp. this time. I think they came out better (still a tough balancing act between sharpness & NR) and I snatched a shot of a brown pelican approaching a snowy egret. A headless snowy egret. (they're very common around these parts)
