And I feel pretty lucky to get this picture of a Pileated woodpecker, despite how poor it is. There are a pair around my house all the time, just happened to see this guy at the edge of my field and didn't have quite enough reach!

I use my 70-200 for my attempts at birding. I also have a 1.4x tc. You might think about adding that to your bag for a bit more reach. The Site

Haha - I had it but accidentally deleted it...I took them in New Hampshire. I did a little research on my own and I also think they are pine grosbeaks.

Coming from the UK as I do, I had them down as our native bird with the twisted beak, the Crossbill. Apologies for that. Anke

It's tough to get good captures in the brush like that, and those of the bird eating berries are fantastic. I'd be very proud of these, regardless of the glass used. Good post!
