    Nice, really superthumb.gif

    You 'folks' really need to put a book together. The birdie shots from songbirds on up are better than any I've seen in ID books.

    Excellent shots Ben and Jeff. I'm surprised that the hawk hung around with two D2hs firng off shots at the same time.

    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!"

    Ben while it is a complement it is also the flat out truth! Coops and Sharpies can be almost imposible to tell apart, female Sharps are the same size in many cases as a male Coop. People have actually went so far as to measure bars and tail bands. Sparrows are another one that can be tough..This is only a couple of examples. Oh and the waterbirds, can't forget those:D

    The detail in the photes on this site are superb.thumb.gif

    P.S. got my first bif, it was a crow, WAY out of reach of th 70-200. Body is rather a black blob, but the wings, with the sun shining through, are nice and sharp..its a start.
