Very, very nice Andy. It was a great afternoon. That light could not have been much better.
I had a skimmer shot that was pretty good too but some unnamed party sabotaged it. :cry

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Whenever I can afford it, DSLR's the next step for me.
The last SLR I owned was a Yashica FX-1 with a few extra lenses. That was back inthe late 70s while I was stationed in Germany. After learning how to sail in Chiemsee (Southeast Germany), I came back to my post near Frankfurt, got off the train with that 100-lb backpack on (they don't give you much time before shutting the door on you there) and, with the train a half-mile down the tracks, THEN I realized that my camera bag was left on it.
Hiya Jim - I sold the 1Ds Mark II back in the fall when I got my 5D. I'm sooo much happier with the 5D. The 1Ds Mark II is a fine box, but the 5D does nearly everything as well for me - and since I need to be mobile, it's a better fit for my needs.
For sure, if I were full-time birding, I'd use the 1Ds Mark II, and probably the 1D Mark IIN for the really fast frame rate. The 5D was a good performer as far as focusing goes - of course, not as good as the 1D Mark II or 1Ds Mark II for these types of subjects.
Sweet Andy.I like the comp
Giving Harry a run are ya
He's good for the short run but until they start awarding Starbuck franchises in swamps he will never last for the long run. :lol

Boo Hoo! :puke
The 1DsMkll focuses much faster and has a higher frame rate, doesn't it?
Or did you sell your 1DSMkll again??:):
