Ok has anyone seen this before? I took a few photos of this red wing blackbird on the weekend and at first i thought that's just a patch of different colour on the head. When I got home and took a look at all the photos, it looks like a big part of its head is missing. :o

Great action shot Rodney!

Hopefully I can start posting some shots soon.  I just got a new camera and my great uncle in quebec just sent me a box full of his old gear, including some really well kept vintage canon FD and FL lenses!  Some real classics, I'm very excited. Got an adapter coming so it will fit my GF1 (micro4/3), then hopefully I can contribute some shots!

Great captures DS.  Are you shooting handheld?  I'm curious what lenses you are using.

Thanks. I've been having some good bird luck recently.

Yes, all shots are handheld.

Canon 7D w/ 100-400mm lens (usually at 400mm)

Four lovely visitors from this morning before I went off to work:
 
Female Rufous Hummingbird

 
Male American Goldfinch

 
Young male House Finch giving some attitude to most anyone who'll listen. (probably something about the bad hair dryer??)

 
Male Blackheaded Grosbeak - becoming more and more common around my feeder this past week!

Very clean for handheld with a 400....impressed!!!!

I'm having a tough time, I'm shooting with lumix GF-1 (no image stab) and an old canon FD 200mm 3.5 prime.  It works out to a 400mm with adapter, but with no image stab...so I have to keep my fstop at 3.5 to keep enough light with faster shutter speed, which gives super shallow DOF.... the problem is its manual focus too, so tight DOF +manual focus = quite the challenge!!!  It's making me a better photographer though, so that's good. 

Great cap on that female rufous, they are so pretty.

I try to keep my shutter speed over 1/400 when I shoot at 400mm.  The 7D is great at lower light.  ISO 1250 is what some of these were shot at!
