These were taken last Saturday in Keswick Ontario. 500 + 1.4X TC, hand held. It was the first time I had ever seen these beautiful birds that sound as good as they look!

Both of your pictures have great clarity. I have never seen these birds good to know.

These are beautiful shots Scott. Although Keswick isn't that far from Brampton I've never seen a bird like this.

Gorgeous shots Scott and interesting birds to observe...I always enjoy seeing these beauties when they are passing through here in the fall and spring... albeit a very small time frame.

Great captures, Scott, of a very skittish little bird. Put me down for #2, buddy.
