I have to tell it's my lady that provided me the idea to position myself in order to cath them both in the frame... Thanks to my beloved! :-)

Le harfang et la lune / Snowy and the Moon

An outstanding photo!

Great that the moon was actually there and not added in PP! I have a distant shot but still looking for a good Snowy image for this winter.

Today I took out the Tamron Adaptall 200-500/5.6 (31A) and matching 1.4x TC to play. Not too much doing around the yard, but red-bellied woodpeckers are always tough gets for me and who doesn't like to photograph squirrels?

I have to move my blind on the deck further back as the cardinals are getting too close! Minimum focusing distance on the A* 400 is 14.5 feet.... it is the molting time for the cardinals here...

This winter has been like a rollercoaster in Finland. Rain, frost, snow, rain and always gray... Even magpies hate the weather. Originally, I was shooting something else (without any luck), and this one came to the roof of a barn about 50 meters from my position. It looked so lonely so I had to take a shot...

Very nice!
That cedar waxwing looks like it could take on Godzilla.

Cedar Waxwings are always special in my book and that one is very well done.

Waxwings are one of my favorites too.
Last November a small flock landed in a tree top about 40 yards away.
Shot with my KP and the DA 300* it took some heavy cropping to see them better.
