"Taking Flight"
EOS 1D X, EF 600mm f/4L IS II + EF 1.4x III Extender, 1/2500 s, f/8, ISO 640
"Flyby"
EOS 1D X, EF 600mm f/4L IS II + EF 1.4x III Extender, 1/2500 s, f/8, ISO 640
The second one is uncropped in the horzontal direction (in fact, I had to add a little canvas on the right to give the red tail some 'flying room' in he frame).
Thanks for looking!

I went out today to take pictures of a pair of Cardinals that have been hanging around. No Cardinal pictures, but lots of Blue Jays...... Not exactly as planned, but I got to spend time outside in the snow Shots are with a 60D and 70-200 with a 1.4X extender.

Here's a few taken with the 600mm IS II F4 on a 5D Mark III. All shots hand held without color modifications
Enjoy!
Two Cactus Wrens - note fruit juice (prickly pears from cactus) around their bill. Their call is most unique and easy to ID as it sounds like a car having a tough time starting up on a cold morning. Since 1931, they have been the Arizona State bird. All shots taken in southern California.

American Kestrel (11848) by Revup67, on Flickr
Townsend's Warbler (11679) by Revup67, on Flickr
Note rows of "narrowly" drilled holes and protruding sap which attracts insects as well as Rufous Hummingbirds (dependent on season and regional location). The Sapsucker returns for its dinner (sap and insects) while they cling to the sap.

The Ruby-crowned Kinglet (male) with its crowned raised. The bird is next to impossible to find (though of Least Concern)..tiny and well camouflaged within the branches seeking aphids, caterpillars and the like. The timing has to be precise as its crown is typically flattened and shows as sort of a red speck on its cap.
