I shot this one yesterday with my Canon 20D+400 f/5.6L Lens+a 1.4xTC.
This was walking pretty fast, so I had to shot a burst off.:):

    wow - guess you know your birds - those are wonderful. i'm not very familiar with birding. it's something i've always wanted to do, but i probably need a different camera and definitely lots of zooom!

    nice meadowlark
    hey Rocky,

    cool bird. Nice and crisp and good colors up front and looks like he's hauling a.. in the back rolleyes1.gif

    So, I thought I'd check out your web site - neat piccies, but I got a bone to pick... Leave it to the "frog lady" to catch you on putting turtles in a gallery labeled "amphibians". Last I checked, turtles are reptiles eek7.gif But ya got some neat stuff up there.

    cheers

    Nice job.
    Very nice shot. I bought the same lens a couple of weeks ago and am still trying to get that kind of sharpness.

    Extra nice! thumb.gif

    I can see from this that the 400, which was already on my list for next spring, will be a wonderful addition. Glad to see it does well with the TC attached.

    Thanks, Ric. The 400+the cheap Tamron 1.4xTC, is a great combo.:D
