Frank, I'm ashamed to have only shot fifty shots, when you shot 2,000! That puts me to shame! I just wish I had the time to follow around birds and snap that many pictures!
Vince, I'm getting used to the Sigma 70-200. Especially since I would like the Nikon 70-200 VR, but way out of my budget. My brother really doesn't use this lens much (at least I don't think), so I doubt he's really missing it too much (it's acutally still mounted on my D70 body in my room!). As for the story with the bird, I was attempting to get a closer shot of it. It must have sensed my approach, and at the same time there was a strong breeze, so it almost lost it's balance, and while it was getting ready to take off, I snapped the picture you see above. Quite frankly, I didn't think it would come out all that good.
Now I need to find the time to process my other bird pictures, but since I started classes tonight, it's going to be hard to find time. :Sad:
