They are not as well known but there are 2 more goldfinches in the U.S. southwest - Lawrence's and Lesser. I saw Lesser in Portal, Arizona (a wonderful birding spot) in 2009 but the Lawrence's is more restricted. Here's the Lesser - not a great shot I'll admit.

I have not used my K3 for quite a while, but today I took a few shots with the MF Sigma APO 4.5/500

... just in front of my home-office window

I like the heron shot very much. So unusual.

Yeah. It was very chilly. I think this guy would have liked a bobble hat and coat.

The first image.

Absolutely fantastic.

Looks like XB-70 Valkyrie in flight.

White-breasted Nuthatch - part of a fast moving mixed winter flock. Unfortunately I missed getting a decent image of the Mockingbird that was also with the group.

Fascinating birds. I wonder how they developed those white eye surrounds, and for what evolutionary purpose.
