These were shot with the Canon 70-200 IS this evening, I am enjoying this lens very much. Thanks for looking at the photographs. These were both shot at F 2.8 at about 160th shutter speed.
These two are very nice! I like the orientation of the nuthatch!!! Closing the aperture on the first shot may have helped you obtain some more detail in the beak. Good job on these images
All taken into consideration, and many thanks for all of the suggestions. I'm amazed at the quality of suggestions as they are clearly worth consideration, thanks guys (gals?)
If I could ever get that close to them you would be making me a real believer of that lens. I struggle to get close with the 500! Super shots, Sir, and thanks for showing how it's done!
