dd001 - I love your work. That portrait of the red tail hawk is excellent. The rest are top class too!

Anyway, here are some of mine from this morning:

Here is a rather primitive bird shot: a magpie sitting in a tree on the other side of the street from our apartment taken with my Dynax7d with a Tamron 70-300mm at 300 mm, f/5.6 1/60s and ISO800 rather late in the afternoon on a wet day:



It was meant as a test of this objective which was loaned to me by pegelli and I think I can say it passed the test, without any cropping or other PP, you even can see the blue part of the wings!
