During my travels between some of our facilities in work I cam across these guys. All taken with the D2H and the 300 f4 and 1.4 converter

I was so surprised to see this guy sitting out in the open, I believe it is either a sharp shinned or Red tailed Hawk but I very well could be wrong

Mike -

More great shots from you. Those bluebirds are some of my favorites -- hope you can go back and get some more shots of them.

greyflash · Mar 3, 2005

Very nice images Mike, clear, sharp and with great color. The blue bird almost sparkles. Your certainly an inspiritation to me and my meagher attempts at bird photography.

Arrrgh! You are killing me with great shot after shot. Couldn't you slip in a blurry one here and there to make me feel better :lol:

Great job Mike. I really do look forward to your posts.

shot #1

is incredible..........WOW :shock: , beautiful capture, the robin as well is nicely done......so when is the 500mm coming. LOL !!!

Awww geez Mike. These really are very nice. You've managed to make two comparatively common and ordinary looking birds in the Starling and Robin look like superstars.

Love the bluebird - another one (of many) on my "I want to see for real one day" list.

Great blue bird Mike we never get them down here

Hi Mike, great shots. That hawk is definitely not a Red-tail, its either a Sharp-shined or a Cooper's, hard to say exactly because the head looks small (Sharpie) but the body looks larger than a Sharpie. Also the rounded tail says Cooper's. I'd go with Cooper's Hawk.

Either way its a great shot!

PhotoDawg · Mar 5, 2005

Nice shot of that hawk!!

joecolson · Mar 5, 2005

Mike,

Great shots. I especially like the one of the Bluebird. You should submit some of your shots to Birders World magazine or another publication devoted to bird watching/photography. They're that good!

Janet thanks, I bought a sibley Field guide and even with the detail presented in there it is tough to ID these guys, A cooper it is, thanks again
