Hello,
newby here and it's been wonderful seeing all the wonderful photos posted :) Here are a couple of mine taken in my backyard through a window. Taken with Canon 5D II with 70-200 IS 2.8. Had to really crop these in. Looking to add at least a 400 MM to my gear but for right now, doing lots of practicing of BIF

nice...maybe look at a 1.4x?

Hi EvilZeev.
Lovely shots, especially the second one, did the mouse even know the owl was there before the shadow arrived? ;D somehow I think not!
Could also have been in Harv's breakfast is served topic!

Cheers Graham.

amazing coincidence, but I was in Maldon in Essex very early this morning and I was speaking to a lady who told me her friend had shown her a shot of an owl....talons outstretched.....aiming for a mouse in the snow! and by golly here it is. Great shot !

I am actually considering a 300 f4 prime with an 1.4 extender. I like the 300 which has an IS but the 400 does not. Also looking at 100-400. Still deciding. Canon will be announcing new lenses inMay or at least that's the rumor so I may wait until then to see what come up....

I like the first one. It has a dream-like quality to it that makes it more art than a birding shot.
