Wayne these are very nice. I've got only one shot of this species (through some cattails) so I"m hoping to get some better shots this summer.

Nice pics! The ones on your gallery are nice too.
Did you use the 200 for all of them or did you use the 70-300 for some?
These are some of the best Bird/wildlife shots that I have seen w/ the XT. How do you like it?

PS It looks like the American tree sparrow in your Gallery Has a Club foot (deformed). :(

Great series Wayne, your first shot is my favorite. We don't see the Green Herons in our area.

First Thanx Marc , rrdj , Sindri and Kevin , I appreciate your kind comments

David all were taken with the XT , Ive had it for just over a year now and enjoy it immensely , I only use the 200 when I'm in the field the 300 just seems to keep my backpack balanced , I think I may have used it 5 times since I bought it ,,, The tree sparrow probably has a deformity , Ive seen that a few times in birds I will go look cause I don't remember noticing it before ,,, thanx also for your very kind comments

One of my favorite birds there Wayne. I have yet to see them in the usual places here in Florida. Your shots remind me of how much I enjoy them. Nice set. :)
