Great pic! Is that a Puffin?
Yes its a puffin...ive a whole book of them! Need to take some more with my 150-500 lens!
Your photos are all good and would benefit with some editing, your Yosemite mule deer would make a great duotone As for a lens get the biggest one you can afford

Thanks for the information. I'm finding out that lenses are a huge investment but a necessary evil. $1,500 is my target. Any suggestions?
In that approximate price range there are three main choices, but you almost can't go wrong with any of them.
All Canon:
300 f4 with option of adding a 1.4 extender making it a 420
400 5.6
100-400 zoom
I personally use the 300 with a 1.4
For examples of birds and other wildlife photos taken with that set up feel free to explore my photo blog which is updated daily.

Pics done with rebel and kit lens. Missed many opportunities because I didn't have enough zoom. Working on a wish list. What's a good first buy? Please Critique photos also as I am a rookie at all of this. Pics are straight from the with no exiting. Thank you in advance!
Both Canon and Nikon (and probably several others) offer bridge cameras with extended optical zooms which are said to produce quality images. My son has a Canon SX30....
But if you are sticking with DSLRs-- you might look at a 1.4x extender for added reach.

Extenders will not work if it is any EF-S lens
