I am getting behind on posting again, I need to increase the frequency. These are various pics I shot with the Sigma 150-500mm whilst at my parent's house.








Same photo, cropped in some. I was digging the details in the chest and throat feathers in particular and wanted to share that.

These are all so beautiful!!

I love the detail and color on the blue jay, and you nicely caught the iridescent pink on the mourning dove's neck.

I'm a sucker for bird pictures, and I'm tempted to get a more serious camera to capture some better quality ones myself (oh but I HAD to get a camera that was small and light and captured video).

I'm glad you noticed the pink. I took about 20 shots until I got one that really captured it. :)

Regarding cameras, the nice thing about small and light is that you will usually have it with you. :)

Lovin' all the colors. Really love birds too. Great job!

I'm not a great bird fan, but those pictures are really stunning and I do have an appreciation for blue jays :) The close up of the blue jay is vibrant and really shows natures perfection of the bird itself.

That's a good way to put it. If I could reliably illustrate the simple perfection that is all around, I'd be doing great.

I really like the yellow bird and the Blue Jay. The Blue Jay was my college mascot. ^_^
