I finally got out into my blind after all the rain we have had. I used my Canon 80D with my Tamron 150-60mm G2 lens mounted on a tripod. All details will be with each photo and ALL C&C is welcome. Thank you for stopping by and taking a look.

All 6 look great, especially #1. I love my Tamron 150-600mm first generation lens.

Rod, thank you for your very generous comments. I can agree with you on the original big Tamron and then I went and sold it. Realized the error and ended up getting the G2.

MT, as you can tell summer is here for today. Had a great day in the blind and the male downy was one of the first birds to give me a shot. Storms again this weekend and I hope the winds stay away. I appreciate your comments and the smiley and thumbs up.

Lovely shots of your furred and feathered friends, Greg. I would not crop as closely as you did on the last four. They need room to move.

Really nice, Greg. I agree with Donna; give them a little room.
