    I managed to get out this weekend and shoot. All were taken with the D2H + 500/4 + 1.4x.

    Your basic House Sparrow:
    40520372.

    An American Coot:
    40520363.

    A Snow Goose (1 of 7,000):
    40520374.

    A female Red-winged Blackbird:
    40520367.

    and finally, the male Red-winged Blackbird:
    40520356.

    Hope you enjoy these shots.

    Regards

    Wow Rory, magnificient.

    If I was going to be super-critical, and only because the other images are so outstanding, the male blackbird's head looks a little oof - due to him moving while singing I guess. But, really that's searching to find something wrong and I shouldn't be because the standard of these images is just so good.

    Thanks for showing us them.

    Good call Neil. I almost did not post that one, and finally decided to include it to match the female.

    Awesome

    Rory
    I am always amazed at your images the feather detail in these shots is incredible, each one is fantastic, I do agree with Neil on the Male Red wing, but would have posted it along with the female, I did the same with my Bluebird shot I was just so happy to get one I figured what the heck. Please keep posting I always look forward to your shots.
