Thanks click. As you can see, 400 is not generally enough but I think I'm happier carrying bare 400 than 300 for what I shoot. Right now I miss way too many with 800 so it'll be 560 until the spring.

Nice shots everyone. Arthur, your photos remind me once again how dull our North American kingfishers are. Every other continent (except Antarctica) has better kingfinshers!
Jack, where do you live in AB? I'm in MT and we rarely see WT sparrows. BTW, if you're not too far north and want to shoot Yellowstone this fall, give me a shout. I've got a couple of guest rooms and there are a lot of great places to shoot eagles and other raptors near my house. I'm only an hour from YNP.

RBC5, that is a very generous offer. I couldn't take you up on it this year but we do travel with a small (20') motorhome around western Canada when we can and sometimes into the states. However, I presently don't have a valid passport, wasn't needed in the bygone days.
I live just east of Edmonton on an acreage not far from Elk Island National Park in what they call the Beaver Hills ecosystem. It's a little far to the Rocky mountains, like about 4 hours to Jasper, but really that's not bad, so that's a favorite. We have lots of WT sparrows all the time, don't ask me why.
Have been through Montana many times. It is said that the folks in that region are more Canadian than American.

Elk Island! I went there about 5 years ago before I was interested in photography and had a t3 with a kit lens. I remember the bison (I think) and how close they were to the car on many occasions. That's all we ended up seeing I think but I heard there is a lot of wildlife there. I hope to go again soon.
