Went to a local wildlife park today . Had a lot of snow this past weekend . When I pulled up to the park a Wren landed on my outside rearview mirror . It kindly waited until I got several images before it flew away . Hope you enjoy them .

Thanks ! The only part of the mirror was in the two images above . I was inside my truck while taking the images . This is extremely rare for a Wren to land this close to me and stay long enough for me to take pictures .

Great shots and it certainly shows you don't need the latest and greatest gear to get great shots.

Thanks greyswan , mandokid1 and greenjeans for the comments . These were shot with an XSi , 70-200mm F4L with a Canon 1.4x . It's non-IS but I have always like the lens well and the Canon 1.4x works very well with the 70-200mm .

I have an old Rebel XT and the 70-200 F4 as well - I love that lens, beautiful color rendering and very sharp! I use the 1.4 TC as well, I really have to look for any difference when using it with the f4. Great walkaround combination.

I been very happy with mine . Have only had the 1.4x TC for about 6 months and I really like it . It's been said the 70-200mm F/4L has been one of the best lens Canon ever made cause of ease of use and sharp images . I use it every time I go out for camera use .
