I finally got a lens long enough to get some decent pixels on target (Sigma 150-600 C). Still need a lot more time and practice but got my first ever owl pic. We have a pair of Downy peckers in a tree so I built a makeshift hide and have been sitting out trying to get shots of them.

Pretty nice doing it from home - sit around, have a beer or two.

Hi ejenner.
Aaah autofocus is your friend then, just have to straighten and crop for composition later! ;D
Nice shots, well done.

Cheers, Graham.

snowy egret from this morning
1DX, 600II + 1.4III, ISO 1250, 1/1250, f7.1

I worked on this file again today - I like this crop better plus I fixed a few blown pixels.

Beautiful shot,Vern. I really like this one.

thanks Click - I played with this file too to remove the piece of grass pointing at the subject plus a few other details.

I agree with you. This one looks a lot better. 8)

Yes, exactly. AF, crop, straighten AND a tripod are my friends for this setup. Need my arm strength for lifting beers.

I really like your pictures, ejenner. Nicely done.

Thanks.

A western kingbird from the wildlife refuge where I took the owl shot. Normally I don't like wires and man-made objects in pics, but I could live with this one.

Two female Blackbirds from today. I assume the first is a juvenile.

Two from today. I assume the first (second posted) is a juvenile - still working on my bird ID so not sure what these are.

Beautiful photos

Really nice pictures. I'm going to have to get one of those longer lenses.

I really like the colors on your first picture.

More magpies. I usually can't get anywhere near this close to them (maybe 3 1/2 to 4 metres). I suspect they had a nest in the bushes nearby and were standing guard.

Nice series, dpc.
