Scottes Trigger Man - POTN Retired  12,842 posts Likes: 10 Joined Nov 2003 Location: A Little North Of Boston, MA, USA More info | Apr 15, 2006 21:33 | #1 All 100% crops, no processing, from the 500mm f/4. This lens is simply stunning.  House Finch  Brown-Headed Cowbird, the first I've ever seen on my feeders. He went straight for the food, bypassing my branches and a chance for a natural shot, and he didn't stay long at all.  Chipping Sparrow  I feel like a fool for not knowing what this bird is. Maybe I'm tired, maybe I'm just a bit daft.  You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

IanD Cream of the Crop Honorary Moderator  More info | Scott, there has been a recall on all 500 f/4 lenses. They have to be returned to Canon Service here in Montreal due to sharpness issues. You and Sheldon can send yours to me and I'll make sure they get fixed, sometime in the next 5 years...... Ian (®Feathers & Fur)

They are members of the Weaver Finch family, imported into this country. This bird and the Starling (also imported) are 2 birds that will never get on the endangered species list. 20D
