Went out the other day to test out my new 70-300mm VR lens:)

I was able to get a few shots of this bee hovering around the shed out back.

doesn't look like a bumble bee to me, looks like one of burrowing bees.....i don't know exactly what they are called, but we have them in ohio, they are annoying and they burrow into anything that is wood. don't know if they sting or not...

Yea, now that you mention it I dont think they are either. Similar looking though. I got confused. :confused:

Nice job, Dan.

Congrats on the new lens - please keep us posted on your experience with it.
