Thank you Roberta,
I felt right at home with it the first time out. I've since been customizing and making it more my camera.

- canada goose
- snow goose
- double crested cormorant
- starling
- cardinal
- catbird
- mockingbird
- common tern

Impresive. Particularly because I was standing next to you trying to take the same shots. That green heron was really far out. Awesome capture.
