From our neighbor's back yard. My first serious try with the Better Beamer which seems to work pretty well.

Pretty birds, very busy this time of year plumping up the little ones.

Very nice job Dave. The BB definitely makes these shots easier to process and a nice, clean look.

Thanks John, a fun shoot and I plan on going back to check on these guys since they are just over the fence from our yard. Amazing all those birds can get into that little hole in the tree.

Thank you jodelak, it was a fortunate discovery so close to home, and the only nest I've ever seen.

Nice job Dave, and all very cute. You know, I have a Better Beamer but have never tried it. Now maybe I think I should! And the 7D with the 70-200 and extender worked well together.
