Actually, when I looked closely at it, it was indeed a bit noisy around the edges.  I've since fixed that problem.  Thanks for the feedback on this one!

Krob - thanks for the words on the American Kestrel..maybe I should check out that movie...

Atosk..that is a Peregine Falcon alright however it is important to note this is an immature or juvenile.  Note the pale crown around the eye (not solid as with the adults).  Also this is the Tunrda sub species and not Peale's (or Pacific) sub species.  Also the dark streak beneath the eye, this is known as a "dark mustache" (reference Sibley's Guide To Birds pg 133)

revup67,

I am not a birder, but last week I happened to watch the movie "The Big Year". It was, and still is, playing on TV's HBOS 23-28 Dec. I stumbled upon it while trying to find something to watch, otherwise I wouldn't have sought it out. I really enjoyed it. Gave me a whole new perspective on people who are dedicated birding hobbyists.

Pacific Heron (aka White Necked Heron) taken on the outskirts of Melbourne (Aust). It's a fairly shy bird and I was using a 300mm f4. A 600mm would have been really nice. Santa.....?!  :)

The Crane is beautiful Ren... Wish we had some of those down here in Florida!
There are quite a few at the Animal Kingdom park at Disney World and the Animal Kingdom Lodge savannas.  They are beautiful.

Thanks.  I prefer to photograph wildlife in their natural environment.  Sometimes that's not possible so the zoo or any other place works fine for me.

While I've been reading for a while now this is my fist post. Thought this pic taken in my fathers back yard turned out really cool. Taken with a 7D and 100-400 @ 400mm.

Cheers David

Wow!  Lots of really beautiful work here.  I figured I'd submit one of my favorite bird photos.

Bird in Question:
Cinnamon Teal

Shot with:
Canon 7D, Canon 100-400mm lens @400mm, ISO 125, f7.1 (according to EXIF data, I don't really recall)

This is one of the Bald Eagles living near the Llano River in Texas.  I took this yesterday on a gray day.

Lovely! Perfect timing!

May be we should have a WB setting for "gray day" :)

Nice Lloyd!  Which case number were you set at for your AF on this one?
