You're welcome my friend.

Any more advice relative to good books or IDing sites??

Jack

Click, thanks for the specific book suggestion. I will be acting on getting one or more very soon. Trouble is I'm busy and any spare time I want to get out and shoot not fool with shopping. Winter's coming and here in Alberta that means more spare time so .....

Are there any really good bird ID applications for computer, anyone?

Click, I appreciate all your posts - great shots.

Jack

OK, I lied. The order has been placed via Amazon and I'll be enjoying my book of western birds in a week or so!!

Shot this with my trusty 100-400 and the 5D3. The male on the wire was a real bad-a$$ shoving off the female as she repeatedly tried to take perch.

It is almost like one is the instructor of flyinglessons for the other ;D

Here's a grey catbird that (if you pixel-peep) is surrounded by food. Too bad I couldn't catch it snatching one of those flies out of the air :-\ (7D, ISO400, 500mm, F/4, 1/800s)

Next is a sunbathing northern mocking bird that didn't mind a giant shiny object walk up to it and make odd clicking noises (7D, ISO400, 500mm, F/4.5, 1/640s)

Very nice Moobark. Seems I'm in a lull right now, maybe it's the 26-30 degree fall weather we've been having but there just isn't too much to shoot!??

But here's one from a few weeks back. 6D X300 2000th F7.1 ISO 1250

We had that heat wave too two weeks back. It's cold now and we're seeing a lot of migrants.
RE: your humming bird. Sometimes whenever I browse this thread it feels like I don't do my 500 II justice. Nicely done!
Have a magnolia warbler in non-breeding plumage (7D, ISO1600, 500mm, F/4, 1/200s)
