Love that "bad hair day" Manny.
Martin... I stopped...yep Ka Romy, my heart did, too, a bit. To me, the photo of the bird with the Danaid butterfly is one that " paints a thousand words". Nuts like me took note of the species, the place and date you captured the photo. This bird is not actually feeding on it. It can't. The Danaide is a bad tasting butterfly, ye "pweh!" It took fancy on the poor flitter-nothing else to do. perhaps.
Aphine, wrong subject. Go macro. Shoot butterflies.
Like the frame that you have there Rey. Nice. I like amll forest birds, But this water fowl is so nicely set.
Btw, 300mm is short lens??? You must be joking. I don't see any challenge. Someone took a full frame shot of the IBKF in perubukid's place using 200mm. But wait till you see my 105mm f2.8 sunbird shots. Though the sunbirds tell me "Back off!" (OBS not FG. "A-hi-hi")

I had to dig deep for this. ;D Heermann's Gull (Larus heermanni) Santa Barbara (1/22/05) 300D, 300mm, 1/500, f7.1, iso-200, handheld, jpg (wasn't shooting RAW then) And here is my wife's (Cynthia) shot taken in Texas. She's the one using the 300mm now ;D Altamira Oriole (Icterus gularis) Mission, TX (1/26/08) 20D, 300mm, 1/200, f4, iso-800, handheld, RAW She takes better pictures than i do. ;D

@master Romy, even with the 300D, you are already setting the pace. @tj, great shot of the OBS! @neon, looks like the Mrs. is becoming a birdnut, too. Welcome to the club! The maya is really good-looking. @rey, I love environmental shots like this, showing the bird in its habitat. Good job! Reyno Rosete, wow, perfect timing on that one! @martin, outstanding shots! The Green Pigeons, especially @nestor, you really got close to the Jacana - they are usually sklulkers @ding, lovely buzzard shots! @manny, I like this a lot. Very comical shot.

Don't have a much of this kind of shot but once in a blue moon it does happen. This is a Great Egret who came out of nowhere and buzzed right infront of me. 1DMKII 100-400 @ 210mm F7.1 1/2000s ISO200 EC=-1/3 RAW Handheld Great capture. gil

Azure Kingfisher Canon 20D F/8 300mm 1/125 s ISO 400 (shot using canon 70-300mm IS) 300mm is a long lens for me, lol!

wow Reyno, amazing! I've seen a few Purple Heron get spooked as I drove by the fields of Candaba. Seeing one burst out right beside you can make you reel back for a split second. The next split second I'm vainly trying to both stop the car and whip out the camera. Obviously to no avail. I'd love to visit Reynoland one day! As I told Tina, the winter and spring months are the best time to come to my neck of the woods for bird photography. If you ever come and visit the Sunshine State, lemme know and we'll schedule a photoshoot, much like what Gil & I did back in December.

Wow.... all superb motif captures Ding, Manny, Bob, TJ, Gil, Bindi! I'm actually wondering now if we really need anything longer than 300 mm! ;D

He, he, he. Ka Romy. Look at the 200mm shot of TJ, and the rest with the fantastic shots at 300mm... Moderate the greed, guys. In my garden, with the 300mm, I back off.
