200L for Birds

I always use my 400L for birds. Today I thought I'd try the 200L with 1.4 TC. I like this lens but you have to get close.

Excellent lens combination and an excellent shot. Beautiful color.

Great picture. I really like the blend of colors in the background. Very sharp and well presented.

Wow! The color and sharpness are fantastic.

Beautiful shot Rathke , Ive been using that lens for just over a year and while it suffers in focal length , when your within 15 feet it's as sharp any of the bigger lenses ,,, thanks for sharing

Wonderful capture with great colors, light, perch, BG..very nice.

I used that exact combination for more than a year and was quite pleased with it but always wanted more reach. I have been using the 400 F5.6 for aboy a year now and I am quite pleased but would like more reach

Great shot, very crisp and clear.

Excellent capture with great details and beautiful colors.

Before I made the mistake of selling the 200 it was the best lens I've ever used around a feeder, without the tc. Nice moon shot!

what a beautiful shot! everyone bout it is just above above average! you must have been a happy camper when u looked at it on you puter.

which means you scare them away or in this case, they smile for the camera....which is good.

Or they shoot you the moon.

Very nice Rathke.

Beautiful bird and capture!

Very nice shot, great b/g, pose, and details.

Great shot.
