Well done on all of them Dave. I have been trying to get a good shot of waxwings for some time but so far they have not cooperated.

**patrick9** · 06-02-2013, 06:39 AM

Well done especially #7

With all you "happy birders", it's another dimension of imagery and another language to go with it.

Amazing sharp shots.

I like #4 particularly. That is one of the worst songs ever :-)

lesmore49 · 06-04-2013, 09:32 PM

That Pelican is great. Blow it up to 8X10 and frame it....hang it up on the wall. It's that good. Colour, lighting, composition...wonderful. The Pelican seems to be using it's rear foo as a paddle to turn.

# 6...excellent also.

GeoJerry · 06-04-2013, 09:46 PM

That 300 mm is a pretty impressive lens. I wonder how it compares to my 55-300 mm fully zoomed. Some great shots, particularly the pelican!

What kind of bird is photo #2? The one with the spots?

**Bob Harris** · 02-13-2014, 09:56 PM

missed this one originally buddy, these are some very nice photos and viewing it should give you some hope for spring/summer.

**eaglem** · 02-13-2014, 11:30 PM

Like all the shots, good lighting and focus giving plenty of detail.
