Finally was able to feed my amateur habit and got a Rebel XT with kit lens and a EF 70-200mm f/4L USM. Here are some my fist shots of wildlife.

    Nice series and welcome to the addictive world of digital SLR's. wave.gif Nice sharpness and composition.

    I'm not sure on your ID on the last bird, Sandpipers are tough to ID sometimes, but I believe it is a Greater Yellowlegs.

    Thanks for your kindness. I think you are right on the Sandpiper pic. The website is also cool. I was trying to find a good site that would help ID birds and this look like a good one. Thanks again.
