    Neighborhood wildlife

    Here are a few birds I observed in my neighborhood before work yesterday morning.

    #1 is a white-throated sparrow

    #2 is a little blue heron

    #3 is a ruddy duck

    #4 is a lesser scaup

    I hope you like them,

    Greg

    Thanks so much for your reply. All four of these pictures were taken with a Rebel XT and EF 500mm f/4.5L USM.

    The little blue is my favorite of these. Having never paid attention to what winters in texas, I was suprised to find that the ruddy and lesser scaup were common winter birds there. We get them as winter birds, so I just figured they didn't go as far as Texas in large numbers.

    500mm X 1.6 = 800mm!

    :-O

    That should be adequate.

    Great shots.
