Yep! We all need to start somewhere. I'm sure it's not uncommon to start at the beginning and learn to achieve a much higher level of understanding. Any help and insight is greatly appreciated........ Thanks.

Now that is an excellent attitude.. good luck on the raw thread.

Are you serious? Let me know how it goes man. Got the deal from local amazon for $42 regular $87, We did this last year too and we had a great time and lots of BE. I only have my 300mm F4L + 1.4x then. Good luck.

Hey guys! Let me know what the population is like up there I'd love to drag the body up there, but won't be able to roll until mid-Dec.

Due to the Skagit River being at dangerous floodstage, the Saturday guided river boat trip got cancelled, by the guide. So my friend and I went up on our own, to the Skagit Nature Preserve. Got lots of Redtail Hawks, and a few Short Eared Owls. Then we went up to my favorite spot in Rockport near where we would have met the guide. Just on the south side of the river.

Holy crap! there was anywhere between 20-30 eagles feeding on the gravel bar on the opposite river bank. In the trees on the opposite side, we could see 40-50 white dots, which was more eagles. So yeah, there are a lot up there. They stopped feeding and left the area about 12:30 so I would plan on early morning.

I left with about 2300 shots. Towards the end, we were getting really picky about what we shot. Just flying by? Nah, not interesting. Fighting in mid air over a salmon, okay that's worth getting shooting.

I'll post a few once I get them processed.

All these birding pictures, of which I have never taken one in my life, well here is my first attempt from my backdoor while still inside my house.

No idea about what kind of bird it is?

70-200 @ 200, F 4.5, iso 2500, ss 1/1250

I think one of the things I was struggling with is the narrower DoF from a crop sensor versus full frame and AI Servo's ability to keep up with animal motion. I have increased my Apertures that I would regularly shoot people or Sports using my 5D3. I don't need another expensive hobby so I will have to stop this otherwise I'm going to need a very expensive long lens.

That is a Red Breasted Nuthatch.

this was the other bird in my backyard that I was able to get - what bird is this? - thanks
