Wonderful captures Bob!! Looks like it was taken sometime around noon, you really controlled the exposure on this one. it was about 11 am. actually i just got lucky on the exposure. i still had my settings geared for forest photography (note the high ISO). @everybody..thanks for your comments. i have a blog that tells the story about this roadrunner. please check it out: ornithographer.blogspot.com/2009/04/meals-interrupted.html

Incredible shot Bob. Were you that close to the road runner seeming the tail feather was out of frame? yes, it was quite close. besides the roadrunner is quite a big bird. also, i'm ashamed to admit, i was too excited to frame the bird properly. things just happened too fast ;D

Neon, I completely relate to that experience. My wife has been getting some good shots from the passenger side of the car, too.
Anyway, congratulations to both of you for the lifer and the excellent photo!

Great first post, John.
since your lens is non IS, perhaps using a monopod would help steady the image. when i was first starting, i too, had a 300mm. even with IS, some of my images were not that sharp (i'm too old to have steady hands. ;D) but things started getting better when i used a monopod.

Great capture, aa! I agree with Neon oregarding the ambient light on this for you to use ISO-100.

Mt wife and I were taking a break from birding and having a tail-gate snack party when this roadrunner came scurrying by, picked-up a dead gecko and scooted off, giving me time for only a couple of shots. Good thing my camera gear was next to me but I was not able to change the settings when I took these shots. Greater Road-runner 40D, 500mm+1.4X, ISO-500, 1/800, f10, tripod+gimbal head, raw picking up the gecko (same settings)

You made the common look quite special, Rey! Very nice bokeh.

Excellent captures, Ed, especially the Ruby-crown. These small and exceedingly active birds and prefers to stay among the leaves.

Great lighting, nice detail, perfect exposure!
I have seen a number of one-legged birds that seem to thrive quite well in the wild. Hopefully, this one does as well.

Fantastic captures of these two exotics, Tins! Sana you posted here the one of the Eclectus na nakadipa (wings spread). Really, neither rain, nor sleet can stop a bird nut from taking a photo, no? ;D

like the grosbeak most. I wish you have another pic, one with a full reflection on the water Thanks, Ron. I wish I captured the reflection, too, but I was too close and had no room to back out a little (darn picnic tables ;D). @ted, thanks, and looking forward to see your Spotted Towhee post. @lyds, E.C. stands for Eaton Canyon and Amen on having an awesome God! Thanks for the encouragement. Tins and Ed, thanks for the kind words.

Cool shots, I like the leg positioning on both. ;D

Lovely shots - the first one for the green background and the second for the reflection.

Holy stack! These are great shots considering the high ISO and the slow speed. Excellent work!
Good to see you posting again, Jonathan.
