Carolina Wren nest & eggs

wren nest & eggs by Pepperberry Farm, on Flickr


every year, this chatty little bird finds a nook or cranny somewhere on the north porch and wedges a nest there - this year, it's a trash can that had a lid slightly askew....

I've raised the container a couple of feet so the dogs are less interested in the nest, but now the trash can is off-limits from its intended duty....

taken around the corner from home, I was lucky to see the eagle let alone have it stay long enough for me to climb out of the car with the camera rig:

thank you


although answered by Des above, no - the quickshift changes nothing for the lenses' sharpness, only the ability to override the AF function...

my shots with the two lenses mentioned above - you'll see that the FA* 300/4.5 wipes the floor with the DA L 55-300 at 300mm:

FA* 300mm f4.5 ED IF

red-bellied woodpecker by Pepperberry Farm, on Flickr

cardinal by Pepperberry Farm, on Flickr


I have the DA L 55-300mm and as a walk-around zoom, it's fine - I just know that at 300mm, things will get a bit soft and if I'm really wanting the shot at that length, I should have mounted the FA* 300

here are some examples of the DA L 55-300mm from the back yard:

Northern harrier; I rarely see them landed, usually they are coursing the fields for prey
