Great Shots everyone. Here is a Purple Gallinule Chick, and a White Ibis I found hanging out at the local park.
1DX-Ancient 500mm 4.5 The lens is razor sharp if you stop it down to 5.6. I would love to get the new 4.0 version but this copy is so nice and fast autofocusing. Sometimes chasing the latest and greatest might not be as good as you expect

With the number of bird pictures, I'm starting to wonder ... do cat photographers grow up into bird photographers? Lose their fur as they mature and grow feathers?

Yes......meow ;D

I really like this one, Gary. Nice pose too.

Female red-breasted merganser. It is obvious that it was´t the female who got them their name. Beautiful bird though.

Bird photography provides the thrill of hunting, without the nuisance of having to pluck and gut the results.
