    Found this little guy (adult western screech) today during a survey. Crappy photo from my phone but it was up close and personal.

    Nice photos. Is that kestrel a wild bird? I'm guessing not, wild falcons rarely have an overgrown beak.

    Had an American Goldfinch in my front yard this evening as I was grilling up dinner. Pretty little guy with his bright lemon yellow belly. He serenaded me for a couple of minutes and then took off - very interesting song he was chirping at me, that's what got my attention.

    The field across from the shop was recently cut leaving all ground squirrels a bit open. Herons, Kites, and a few other birds of prey have been noshing lately. This thread reminds me I should take my camera to work.

    Thank you!

    That's an excellent birding/all around lens and my next purchase (if I can ever stop spending money on the Tacoma. Seriously.)

    Honestly that roadrunner pic was just a baseline EF 75-300 Canon zoom. Shot with T5. Just upgraded last year to an 800D - the dream camera 5D Mark lV is just a hair out of my budget:D

    (My birding 400mm 5.6 telephoto lens is resting nicely on the ocean floor near Port Aransas, TX). That was a sad day in 2017:(

    I've been slowly getting into astrophotography these days, but birds always prove a more fun and greater challenge.
