Thanks Harvey, the light and background were so great at the time that I couldn't help firing off at least a hundred shots.

Agreed.

Thanks Kenn, these are some of the very best birding spots in New Jersey and I was fortunate to get out for some good lighting.

Thanks db, I've always found Palms to be cooperative, but that was an extremely friendly individual.

Thanks Matt, I can't help it if they are beautiful birds ;)

Thanks Mitch, I'm pretty new to taking flock shots and the Red Wings can make great opportunities for practice.

Thanks Arty, I was hoping to do something a little different with the hawk silhouette.

Thanks Norman, was a pretty productive couple of days. Stayed out to shoot some sunsets too!

Thanks Mao, the bird was very close to me, so I stepped the aperture down a bit to try to maximize feather detail.

Great shots, Dave!

Thanks Judy, this is a great time to take a ride to Forsythe or Cape May. Lots of friendly birders out and about.

Thanks Cyclops. Wish I woulda had my 7d before the trip though! (still waiting on my pre-order)
