Excellent. I find woodies flush as soon as they see me approaching.

If I wasn't in a portable blind, I wouldn't have a chance at getting any kind of close up shots. Sometimes in the evening, I try and leave the blind when it's too dark to get any decent shots. As soon as the woodies swim to the other side of the blind I try and sneak out the back. I'll be doggone if they don't swim over where they can see me, then fly away!

We're finally getting some birds up here. Spring has sprung. I sure hope the northern half of Minnesota doesn't burn up. It's about as dry as I remember it for this time of the year and I've been here since 1971.

That lens does cost an arm and a leg. But I don't regret it one bit! It's paid for! Thanks again!
