CG typing for BN...
Reilly - The last photo in the series was cropped at most 15%. I was shooting at 1120 mm effective focal length. Glad you like!

DDog, hope you had a good trip to Australia. Sorry I couldn't offer you much advice, but we only spent 2 days birding in NSW, and both were in Sydney at Royal NP, and in Queensland we mostly went to places that are hard to get to now in the wet. Anyway, look forward to seeing your photos. I'm still editing mine, and haven't even reached half way of our trip!
So, here are some shots of birds found only up in the rainforests on the tip of the Cape York Penninsula. We went to the Iron Range NP.
Palm Cockatoo. One wild looking bird. The only time we got close enough to get photos it was about noon and the light was horrible.
Magnificent Riflebird. A species of bird-of-paradise, one of the few found outside of New Guinea.
White-faced Robin, too cute for words.
Eclectus Parrot pair. The red one is the female, green one the male.
Frill-necked Monarch. They can puff out their neck feathers to make this bizarre looking frill. Couldn't get photos of that.
Fawn-breasted Bowerbird, at his bower.

Cool shots as usual Z!
Had a great trip-no worries about info. We borrowed a bird guide from friends down there and kept our eyes open.
Aus sure has some strange birds. I too am working through my photos but work keeps getting in the way. And there is just so many of them:-)
We almost blew off NSW completely to drive south to Tazi but that'll be another trip.
I'm off to Bahrain this weekend so maybe I'll have time to post a few during my down time.
And, PNG moved way up on my list of places to visit...

Dang, Z, you got some nice ones! That cockatoo makes my bad hair days look weak!
And I hope bowerbirds get paid by the hour cause that house took some work!
That 'robin' pretty much puts paid to 'cute'!

Just a test of some new Lightroom settings.
Not too bad for ISO 4500 IMHO. It was dark and it's a big crop.
This one looks better at ISO 140, eh?
ISO 1100 and a fairly big crop but not too bad if you click on it.

Just went out for a while today at a little park nearby to try a few things
with the bazooka. There wasn't a lot going on so I shot whatever I could.
Saw this LBG about 40' away and fired a volley. Got home and went
"What in tarnation is THAT?" Ho, man, a female Vermillion!
Can I get a double WOOT? You just never know!

Great photos above, Reilly looking like the lens is working out fine, Little Z...wow, some great looking birds.
A little rare here in northern NM this Harris Sparrow has been showing up at the feeder.
Taken through a window in bad light.

Just ran across this video. Amazing footage. The Sparrowhawk is about midway in size to our Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawks
