I need to find my bird ID books. I'm not sure what this guy is - feel free to let me know - but I got a nice shot of him just taking wing.
This shot is from Upper Bidwell Park in Chico. A large tract of land donated to the city by the wife of Col Bidwell. Incredible park that runs essentially through the center of the city.
This is absolutely my best shot with the 100-400. For the first time, I'm beginning to feel like I got a good copy and a great overall lens. This is one of three really nice shots that I got today (out of only 40! - not a bad keeper rate).
