Finally a treecreeper that posed well! 1000mm f/10.

These are tricky. Mostly I find them in line with me and the tree trunks, leaving only the backside to focus on, and that is nearly impossible. You were smart and got a bit of the breast/belly to help out.

They are! Fast, well camouflaged with their back to you, and when easiest to focus on, not very well posed for a pic! This was just good fortune, it was facing sideways (from my point of view) for a split second

Snowy Owl, Norton Point, Mass.
Temps warmed to a balmy 20 degrees F. I hiked across three miles of frozen sand dunes and beaches for the shot. I mention this as I had a 7D and a 100-400mm and they worked like a charm in the cold.

Nicely done, Jeff.

Don't normally post on here as don't think my photo's are good enough. But we have had a Great Grey Shrike around for a little while and I went twice to see it but two days apart. One day was overcast and grey and dark (not unusual in the UK at this time of year!) and the other was on a cold, clear sunny morning. Although one photo was taken with a 300 and the other with a 600. the difference in quality due to the light just proves that you need to factor in these issues.

Love all the shots, everyone. Wish I had parrots in my back yard. But I have chickadees!

This one made my day.
