What lens did you use for that first photo of the waxwing and for that matter, for many of your other birding photos. They're so sharp! Probably way more expensive than what I have in the bag.

Thanks for looking,
The Waxwing shot was taken with a K-5/Sigma 500mm f4.5 EX DG/Sigma EF-610 DG Super flash with a Better beamer .Some of the other shots were taken with a Sigma 300mm f2.8 EX DG and a Sigma 105mm f2.8 EX DG macro,last shot was with a Pentax 10-17mm

Great photos. i still don't know how you got those snakes to pose for the photo?

I was lucky with the snakes because I managed to get them as they were coming out of winter hibernation, it was the first really sunny day of the year
