My outing this morning was successful, I found this 2 Owls, just as I walked underneath a tree they were starting to hoot. They started to groom each other, it was just amazing.

I can hear a worm :)

Nice Erv. Gotta say, I am very jealous of the green grass you have!

I may act a little goofy but....

Nice shot! Love the framing with the grass in the corner. Well done!

Thanks for the link Jerry. I'll take a look at his review.

Ken Rockwell says it's a miracle lens, and that was the older version.

Thanks mborn. Great hummer shot. Was it a Nikon TC or some other brand?

I used this lens in costa rica with a 1.4x converter I did have to increase the ISO to get the speeds I wanted.

Thinking of getting this lens while Nikon still has the rebates on lenses. Anyone want to share their experience, pros/cons of this lens. Will be used on both DX & FX formats for birds and wildlife. TC recommendations/experiences?

Thanks for any input.

Common Loons

Thanks for the info. Great shot! Nice setup you have.

There is a causeway going west out of Guntersville with a short section of bridge with a sidewalk. The Loons feed there when the water is moving and have gotten used to the fishermen that fish there too. I was on the bridge with a Nikon D810 on a Nikon 600 mm VR plus the TC14E III teleconverter. Do not have to crop much with that system. I have a friend with similar Canon system that shoots them from a kayak and gets fantastic shots.

Osprey

Nice set. I haven't seen any Osprey here in Maine yet. What setup do you use for your BIF shots such as these Osprey?

American White Pelican

Very nice!

Two from the backyard

Honestly, I haven't had a problem with it. It's for shelled peanuts which lots of birds really like. Sometime when it snows it will collect a bit of snow but the birds just ignore that and peck away at the peanuts.

I think the black & white birds in the second picture are black-necked stilts although it's hard to tell from the small picture.
