a few more Robin shots (there'll be no holding me back now!):

Pretty "tame", especially in comparison to some of the predators we've seen on this forum.

NICE!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

Here are some crazy shots I got last night. I was walking to dinner and was about a quarter mile away from my house when I see two sandhill cranes right in front of me. I slowly step back and then run all the way back to my house, grab my 5d mkii and tamron 150-600 and sprint all the way back. By the time I get back, I am out of breath but the birds are still there. One of the cranes starts doing what appearers to be a mating dance, throwing some root up in the air and jumping up and down.
