Janine, it didn't need to worry about getting his good side, I have seen you take a bad side. LOL Another gem I think probably better than the one in the bird bath #3356640Paul Sikora September 25, 2006 0

Another beauty, Janine! Love that blue! Congratulations!Inspired by your beautiful bird photography, I recently tried to buy the Canon 400mm lens from B&H when I bought my 5D (I wanted the 1 DS Mark2 but couldn't afford it). They recommended I get the 70-200mm 2.8 lens with an extender because I do wedding photography mostly and they knew I had limited funds. I haven't had a chance to try it on birds yet. I'll let you know how it works! Not as well as yours, I'm sure -- but I'm hoping to catch a few backyard birds. And I REALLY want to catch Spirit (Auburn University's eagle) flying before one of the games. #3512994
