The trip to the Hatchery was a complete bust except for the fact it got me away from the insanity around here. A Turkey Vulture flew in so close I could have tickled his tummy if I was just a tich taller..FORGOT to change the EC. I do wonder who the hell taught me how to tie my shoes and why?:wxwax

So here is Mr. Jay. No legs again Steve too close:): I was sitting on the step and he was popping around so close I could have whacked him on the head. Thanks for looking

    Good job Thusie. I have yet to get a decent Blue Jay shot. Tickeling Vultures, bopping Blue Jays on the head, I think you need to send me some of your close wildlife.

    Thanks Nick. I was about in shock with the TV, Don said it probably thought I was foodrolleyes1.gif The jay? I have no clue what brough that on, I'm usually trying to time them as they blast out of the tree, usually miss too.

    Good set Thusie. I particularly liked the birds with legs. :D

    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!"

    Very nice pics. I don't completely agree with the first 2 compositions, but still nice pics.

    Hum maybe I should have just cropped the jay to head shots?:D The 400 is a bit (way) overkill for where I was at in the yard, more 70-200 territory, was fun tho'.

    Thanks!
