I finally got to spend some quality time with my gear today...here is a sampling:

Turkey. Heavy crop. This bird was doing his best roadrunner imitation across the corn field!



Some blonde duck....maybe a juvenile or a hybrid...not too sure. The green beak was kind of cool though! No crop, I was at the minimum focus distance for my 400mm on this one.



Sparrow of some sort...again, no crop, just really close with a big lens. I love the fact that I can see his tongue!



Turkey Vulture. Full Crop. Kind of soft focus, but hey...side of the highway, freezing my tail off, trying to hand focus 800mm of lens...I will get a crisp one soon, there are tons of these guys around here right now.



And finally: super close up of a Canada Honker...check out the tree reflection in his eye...
slight crop, but only a tiny bit.



Cheers!

Randy.
