These birds are becoming my favorite subjects to photograph. I love the eye coloration and the fact that they're patient enough (or maybe it's fearless) to wait for my slow butt to focus...

Distance was about twelve feet using the 400mm. This time of year they're hungry enough to raid bird feeders, and this pair has been wearing out my suet feeders all around the deck. They've gotten so used to having a camera in their faces that they don't even flinch when I open a window or walk up on their nest in the yard. Pretty cool... Of course, the neighborhood cats, dogs, and joggers are fair game for dive bombing runs. "Slower minds keep right..."
