I have nothing on these guys...not exactly common here, but anytime I see one it is too far to photograph properly like you have done. Daniel Cadieux

May 18, 2007 03:06 | #12 Dan, I'm really glad you liked these. This guy was quite a ways from me and I really didn't expect the images to be sharp especially with the subject being so small. But the bigma came through for me and when I did a 100% magnification on the PC and saw the bird was still quite sharp, I was delighted. I used my monopod on these which was also a big factor. Thank you for your kind words! Dennis
