Wow - there are some truly amazing photos in this thread..if you like to shoot birds but are not familiar with their name (proper or otherwise) try using http://www.whatbird.com it has an excellent built in wizard

Here's a few I shot over the past 6 months - all photos shot in the wild - no zoo or otherwise with 7D + 400mm hand held:

Belted Kingfisher (difficult to capture..you get anywhere near these birds they fly about 100 yards away. You go that direction they revert back to original starting point. I had to creep up and hide to nab this one..oh the fun!

Snowy Egret

Cassin's Kingbird

Neuroanatomist-
In this category no less than in several others, your shots are very impressive. Macro, xoom, bug, bird you have a real talent.

I took the following at Great Falls National Park, Virginia side. A lot of stalking went into taking these photos. I found this really awesome spot that gave me all 3 of these pictures and more. Shot with canon 5D II and 100-400 L.
