This one is a 50% crop. He is my new front yard buddy and follows me around the garden. His Fight/Flight range is 5 ft.

It looks like the eagle is following you around too! Talk about your close encounters. Nice set, Rory.

And great weather to boot! I'm sure you Seattle folks are getting the same beautiful weather Jim.

Great shots! The sparrow detail is amazing.

I took some shots with my 500/4 + TC14 + tripod and 300VR + TC17 handheld. I got great results from both but the 300VR shots were better. It is an amazing lens.
