Yesterday I had Mourning Dove in the yard. I set up in the kitchen window with the Tamron 300 2.8 and HD DA 1.4 TC stacked with my F 1.7x AF adapter for approximately 700mm 6.3, all with parts lying around my house.

Not the sharpest, but no that bad either.

Any shot you can get without leaving the house is bonus. Right now there's a momma wild turkey and three half grown young out there chowing down. But they are easily spooked so I'll just enjoy standing a meter back from the kitchen window, watching them.

A couple of opportunities that appeared very quickly. One is the osprey with a fish in it's claws. Not a perfect picture, given the fading light. The second shot is a Canada goose making a splashdown not too far from me.

Another view of that 'cisti' bird, with its 'meal'.

Pretty much

Unfortunately much of the action is a long way away, I've left out Swamp Harriers being attacked by Ravens and Lapwings or flying with a Kestral. And I was thinking of doing a whole post on shots I missed
