Greater Roadrunner (female) - this shot is nowhere near the closest I got to them. I was in my SUV at the time! Taken at F/7.1, 1/3200 sec., ISO 1250, AV Mode, EV -0.7:
Collared Dove - taken at F/6.3, 1/4000 sec., ISO 1250, AV mode, EV -1:
Bewick's Wren (part of a nesting pair) - this is a VERY small bird! They had a small nest in a Mesquite tree just 5 feet from the porch of the cabin. Taken at F/4.5, 1/125 sec., ISO 800, EV -0.67:

A random set of images from... VLF Wildlife Competition (first post)
I believe at least one or two of these images also had the Tamron 1.4X Pz-AF TC used. I was impressed with the image quality, given the underexposures (to boost shutter speed), and the ISO speed used. I hope you enjoy them!
Cheers,
