Was in Mancos (between Durango and Cortez)for a couple of days. Left everyone sleeping in the hotel one morning and went off in search of critters that we don't have in NJ. Was pretty lucky.

There was a group of 13 in my cousin's hay field

This guy was perched on a glove that was left on a fence post

And this was his lady83430927-L.jpg

This one was singing up a storm, then decided to stretch

There were crickets everywhere - this guy was working pest control

Hope you enjoy!

    Outstanding group of shots. thumb.gif

    Did you use the 70-300 DO IS lens on this one?

    It just looks like the kind of OOF background I get with mine.

    I really like this one in particular. Too bad the birds head wasn't turned a little to the right so we could see his head better. Even so....NICE.
