First try at a, em...." buurd".....
Posted By: GLThorne, 04-01-2007, 06:23 AM

Our son is 15 months old and his new FAVORITE word is "burd". Yes, that's about how it sounds! So, we put this feeder up so he could see out his window. This morning, we heard him repeatedly saying "burd" and sure enough this feeder was full. Had about 6 finches on it. I grabbed the mono-pod, camera and the 100-300 and opened the porch door and away they went. Oh well. A few minutes later he was at it again so I grabbed a few shots through the window from his room. Not had a chance to really use this lens but even through a screened window, I thought these came out ok.

We've also printed these so at night when he starts saying "burd" we can show him a bird!

Hope you enjoy.....

Very nice shots Greg. I am starting to really think hard about that Sigma 100-300 and you are making it hard to say no. Good work and maybe you can teach your son to say Limited and maybe end up with some new glass.

Good one Pat! Maybe he can say "gween" whenever he sees a limited lens

hahaa...You just reminded me about the time my niece and I read a book titled "Look said the Birds!" and every time she would read that line she'd say "Wook!......said the buuuurds" I don't think I've laughed that hard in years!

These are great shots Greg, the bokeh is really nice!

Thanks for the positive words. Glad you all liked them. I was wanting so much more from them, but until I can really devote some time to the Sigma 100-300, these will have to do.

tipentax38 - Thanks!!! The lens is a Sigma 100-300 EX APD DG with Sigma DG filter. Not a bad lens, I just need more time behind it.
