Winter birds

We had about 3 inches on snow last night. Just enough to cover the trees. Here are some shots from today. All were taken with the 50D, 500mm F/4 lens.

As always, C&C are welcome. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Joe! He was very cooperative and didn't move much when I took the picture.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the nice comments.

Very good shots, I guess I really like them all. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice shots Kris. I have been looking for a towhee for a couple years and still haven't seen one.

Thanks Mitch. The Towhee just all of a sudden showed up. I was surprised and luckily he sat still long enough to capture this shot. They're a beautiful bird.

Stunning photos full of detail. As a 30D owner these photos really do remove doubts about the detail in the 50D shots for me. Beautiful work. Johnathan
