I'm thinking about entering this one in the phone company's photo contest. I was able to capture the meadowlark perched on one of their fiber optic markers.

Nicely spotted,good shot.
They must have done a good job of burying the cable as it looks like the Meadowlark is looking for it. LOL Thanks for sharing.
Great shot! A sure winner!
What lens did you use? Good shot!

I used a Tamron 70 to 300mm zoom on my Nikon D3000. I was zoomed all the way out to 300mm which on my crop sensor is the equivalent of 450mm on a full size sensor.
The other details include f/10 at 1/640th of a second and an ISO of 400. I was shooting handheld, hence the faster shutter speed. I manually focused as well. Auto focus is fine for some things, but for birds, I've found the only way to do it right is to use manual.
