I'm not that much of a bird photographer (I spend too much time with the binoculars, not enough with the camera). But this was too nice a shot to pass up.

Very nice Kevin, Such a beautiful bird and a great look back pose! They are not a winter bird for me here in the PNW, you're very lucky!

Kevin,

Gotta love those masked bandits. You ned to do what I do. I man the Binos and hubby mans the camera. I point and say "there get it honey"!! Works for us. He likes photography and I love birding.

Pam,

If I could get my partner interested in birding, I'd be glad to man one or the other... but alas, birds hold about as much interest there as watching paint dry.

Getting a new lens will help at some point because I tend to fuss with new gadgets
