Yes, INDEED!!!

I know it's worth the wait....

4.I think this is a ruby -crowned kinglet--just no crown

Very good shots!!! I really like the duck in flight! When you say substantial crops, can you give me a rough percentage of the original frame?

and 5.
Goldeneye flyby and very quick grab. Again a large crop!

Barrows Golden Eye Bonnie But looks like you know that. I think
You just messed up the order of things GF
Lovely images

That first in flight female Shoveler is fantastic except for the wing!!

Good stuff Bonnie

Sorry about all these others intruding in the middle of your post.
It was an accident for me .............



I'm on a ROLL TODAY!!! Yipeeeeeeeeee

4B is a sweet little Regulus calendula.....you are doing awesome with the 50D Ms Bonnie.
And that 300 is a super piece of glass. The flyer in #1 has wonderful detail/exposure

Here you go. Brenton
Full Frame--no editing

Thanks, who knew that camera had so many pixels. I know I have a 40D, but I keep on thinking about another camera, but don't know if a new 50D would good against a used 1Dmk2n, the reason I say that I like the idea of using a TC on my 400mm 5.6 and having autofocus.

Accident? Pftttt.

Now on to the shots, Bonnie - love the Golden Eye. You shot this from down low which is perfect.

Nice job Bonnie

You should have just taken off the tc on 1! Great shot. Gotta love the golden eyes taken from your foxhole, wonderful images. Those kinglets are hard to get, congrats on that!

You always get me to thinking about that lens

Ms. Shoveler looks really nice on the pond and in the air... very nice detail on both Bonnie.
Love Ms. Goldeneye even better... super sharp, great eye contact, nice exposure control.
Very nice series from your "limited shoot"... I should be so lucky.

Those are nice and sharp Bonnie. new camera? Beauty of a goldeney shot

Cheers

Nice series Bonnie,

got to love the female Shoveler in flight - lovely shot of her.

Lil

Excellent series Bonnie.

That is the strangest Ruby Crowned Kinglet I've seen, and substantially larger than most. You grow them big on your side of the water Nice set, Bonnie. Good on ya for getting out there even if all we ever see is fog

Great job, Bonnie, as usual. Enjoyed all. Like the colors of the water on #4.

1st shot is awesome Bonnie
