That is spectacular IMO. What lens? I've never seen that species before, it's a pretty bird.

I have to admit that this is one of the sharpest pictures I've seen yet. My browser is always zoomed at 200% (computer on 46in tv) and damn it is STILL very sharp!

love the colors as well

I had no intention of shooting birds when I went to my back door with the 85mm f/1.8 attached to my 7D today, I just meant to take a few shots of the snow to send to my family and friend. Sitting on the railing four feet away was this female cardinal. Shot through double paned glass, f/2.5, 1/30, ISO 200.

Wonderful shot!

I can't compete with those wonderful bird shots people have posted over the past few days, but here's one from this afternoon. It was pretty sunny, which I need to get anything close to a sharp handheld shot with my Sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro at 300mm, since it's not an image stabilized lens. I was able to get this one at 1/2500 sec.; this is a 100% crop from the original image.

That's pretty good for a 100% from the Sigma lens. Is that the red-ringed Sigma 70-300? I have one of those for the Nikon mount and it actually does very well.

I really ought to stop playing on the computer and go out back with the camera. With 14" of snow on the ground the birds are easy pickings.

Just got the 7D last week and had a chance to take it out yesterday. My last SLR was my father's Nikkormat that I shot black and white with in highschool 15 years ago. That said, there is still a lot to learn.

With an upcomming trip to russia i want a more reliable camera.. i mentioned it to my mom and she asked what one i had in mind, thought it over and mentioned the 7D and it sounds like im going to owe her a nice chunk of change very soon

Here's a song sparrow I just caught on our back deck. Like the cardinal shot through double paned glass. Lens on this one is the 70-300 USM @ 225mm, f/7.1, 1/100, ISO 400.

That's the one. We've got a little over 10" of snow here, and the birds are all over the birdseed I spread this morning around my bird feeder. I've been trying to dial in a microadjustment on this lens. So far it's looking somewhere between -2 and 0, I think I'll compromise on -1.

I went back and fired off 66 more shots but seems we only have two species out today, the song sparrow and the black and white snowbirds. I have yet to get a good shot of a male cardinal even though they're all over the place here, I just never have the camera out when I see them.

I just realized how noisy the IS is on the 70-300 USM. It's a decent lens but it sure makes a lot of noise.
