Xposted from K-1 thread:

Once again, of all lenses, the 150-450mm pinch hits as my bug lens of choice.
I don't know why I find that so comical, but it just works, and has decent magnification and close enough focusing for me, even if I have to do a little cropping. The focus range limiter is also a beautiful thing... I sure do WISH my DFA100WR had a limiter, it might actually focus a bit faster with one!

Probably too many common monarchs... but here they are anyway.

That was my feeling when I loaded this image for PP.
I'd have to say I'm pretty happy with the result even allowing for the dreadful perch.

Cheers,

Blue-winged Warbler

Yellow Warbler

Olive-sided Flycatcher, lifer and rarity. He was really far out there...

Female Nashville Warbler

Orange-crowned Warbler. Second I've ever seen, rare here.

Chestnut-sided warbler

He had some kind of wound or sore on his face. Didn't stop him from singing.

Angry Blue-winged...
