Some trial shots of critters. Can't wait to try it out on some harder to find or more unique wildlife other than seagulls, buzzards, or squirrels!!!

Looks like a great lens.
How is the weight.

These were all hand held. Not a problem. Much better than the sport version I am sure. Not sure about hiking a few miles with it though!!

I think your turkey vulture is quite handsome :)
I think so too. Kind of like an English Bulldog, so ugly they are cute!!

Fantastic shots of the vulture warming up the wings/bones before taking off for the day.

I have a shot of all 4 vultures spreading their wings at the same time. They only did it when I got close so I thought it was a defense mechanism but I have learned as you said that they were warming up their bodies in the warm morning sun after a chilly night.
