    Good shooting, I love the goose staring you down, one those guys figure out that people feed them you better run if you don't have food. Last time I tried to shot a goose it wouldn't stay far enough away for my 70 - 200 sigma to focus. eek7.gif

    I would be afraid, too, as close as those birds are, hehe. I am kidding. Only the first one would scare me. I am sure someone will ID the birds.

    I love the photos of the child with the pigeons.

    If you are looking for bird ID's

    1 = Duck, the ugly varity

    2 = I think a snow goose, really close to a peking duck though.

    3 = Goose of the canuck varity

    4 and 5 = pigeon, but I think you knew that

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
