...is worth two in the bush! It was a beautiful day for a stroll but the birds were quite quiet. Fortunately a couple posed on my wife's hand.

All taken this afternoon with the 500/4 + 1.4X TC

Joe will be happy to know that you are keeping his pets well fed. :)

It was a great weekend to be out and about. Sorry about the shortage of subjects at the Cranberry. I think all the 'Hawk Watchers' are scaring off the smaller birds. Just kidding.

We need to get you out to shoot some quackers and spice up your life a little.

Great shots. They look a little contrasty but that might be my monitor.

Thanks Dan, I may have added some blacks in PP which makes it look a little contrasty.
