Finally Got Outside

[DHMN69]

It's been in the high 50's for a week and snow is pretty much gone, but lots of mud and standing water.. plus lots of hockey and basketball to shoot so I hadn't gotten outside with the camera yet.. I have the 'Bigma' high on my wish list.. OS or not.. but am stuck with the Canon 70-300 USM these days. Only saw the commons today (lot of 4-wheelers out so nothing was hanging around long enough for pictures.)

White Breasted Nuthatch (I believe) 280mm F8 ISO 400


Again 300mm F9 ISO 400


Unfortunately the head is a bit soft on these 'BCD's'

ooooo... I just love that last shot. The angle is cool on the 2nd one.

The last one is my current desktop wallpaper.. I tend to do that after I get outdoor stuff online.. when I get the chance anyway.. I always pick one for wallpaper.

I had one of the nuthatch with sap or something in the beak but the sun blew it WAY out.

Last pic is my fave too. So glad Spring is coming!
