Today was a day of ironies for me. My new EF 70-200mm f/2.8 IS lens came in today. Of course I was excited and couldn’t wait until lunch to use it! This is one of the first shots I took. As I walked around the side of the building looking for another bird to shoot, my mother rang my cell phone. Placing the camera down on a wall, dang this lens is heavy, I stopped to chat with her. While we were talking a peregrine falcon flew over my head!! LOL Missed that shot. Then I began to feel ill and not due to missing the shot. I used to dream of how I would go crazy shooting with this lens the day I got it. Now I am home early from work not feeling 100%....ahhh, the ironies of life…
By the way, this is a male House Sparrow, Passer domesticus.
