Well, it certainly looks like you've settled in with your X. These are about the same quality now as your H shots always have been. The dove is nice and smooth and sharp!

Great set of shots, Mike! Nice to have such a diverse set of visitors to your backyard.

Excellent images.
The bunny shot win for the cutest one. The finch shot win for the interesting color.
They all look sharp despite the caffeine intake

That's a rather crowded breakfast place you have here Mike! ;-) Truely excellent shots (and use of the fill flash): it looks like the D2X is working for you just as the H was! :lol:

 

[Flew]

Mike, excellent little morning tete-a-tete you have there. :wink:

I can't wait until Janie and I can get our decks built in the back yard. Maybe I can come up with some remotely close to these. 8)

Thank you All

Well I just want to say thanks for all the great comments, I really enjoy sitting out front and watching these little guys interact, now my neighbors probably think I am a little out there but hey what can I say. Again thanks all. Sorry for not responding to each post but you all know how bad of a typist and speller I am :lol: :shock: :wink:
