Monday or Tuesday this week. That photo that I shared was with a crappy 200 dollar zoom lens. F 8.2-16. That was part of the reason I upgraded.

Had pretty sweet looks at a Western Screech-Owl right out my front door this evening.

I took this photo of the pewee at my local WMA. The lens works really well.

Another photo of the pewee. Probably my best photo yet. Please Rate.

By the way, the official bird banding code for Eastern Wood-Pewee is EAWP.

Four stars, the bird isn’t that big in the frame.

How about this edited photo? I did not want to crop it to much and ruin the quality of the photo.

I'd still probably give it a four. It could be slightly sharper

Yeah, I know. The bird was pretty far off, but still a decent photo for myself.

I’d say four still. It needs to be cropped closer for my likings, unless it’s an environmental shot. Still a great shot! I agree with not cropping much, but try to get a little closer if possible.

I think this is true for all wildlife photos.
