I finally had some time that I didn't owe to anyone else and I was able to get out with the camera.

Superb set. The osprey and hawks blew me away. Not to take anything away from the lovely male goldfinch.

Great lighting and great lens in the hands of someone who know how to put it all together - they are all just beautiful!

Really Nice Photos, That guy in the second one certainly looked unhappy to see you.

Great colour and sharpness.

Thank you! The one that stayed on the nest was serious about guarding it and was making a bunch of noise while I was there.

Beautiful photos! #6 standing on the pole looks like he is trying to keep toes off the wire. I wonder how they don't get zapped?

I think I heard (but never tested) that you can touch one power line, its only a problem when you touch two and the current uses you or the bird as the arc. So if you don't have anything to do this Saturday, give it a whirl!!

I'll take your word for it

Excellent series.

I seriously envy you that 600mm.
