Meeting up with this Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker in the morning. Went ahead to check out the bird info from wiki, surprisingly read that the distribution only around the Asia region (Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.) Not sure if anyone has seen a similar species from the west?

Rob, I don't know about you, but I will certainly need to improve to catch up with those!!
I just can't convince the DA*300 to track. I have been luckier with the DA 55-300.

Can't think of anything quite this colorful, but we do have several varieties of Tanagers that are pretty colorful - the Red, Western, and Summer to name a few. Here's a shot of a Western Tanager taken in Colorado.

I showed this to my Fiancee.
I said, "Hey, this is us when I buy a new lens!" ... She wasn't amused.

Shot taken this morning at Assateague Island with Bigma hand-held.
My usual spot for spotting Osprey has been a bust lately. Luckily these two Barn Swallows have been checking me out every time I show up. So now I have an entire collection of this pair.
Hope you guys like Barn Swallows!

Wait until you find a male Painted Bunting.

This female Hooded Warbler was a tough one to catch. As soon as I had focus through the trees, she had jumped to another branch. Manually focusing the DA*300 because it kept locking focus on all of the leaves.


I almost stepped on this guy. Good thing I looked down.
