August 7: Bird in the Bush

Rancho Bernardo, CA

My last presentation of a lens is the EF 70-200 f/2.8 L joined with the Canon 2x extender; perfect for getting that bird in the bush. This combination is powerful although a bit too heavy for my taste.

For those of you who were regusted by yesterday’s dirty water shot, please rest assured that it was nothing more than a bit of steak sauce dripped into the glass. SD water is clean and safe.

I didn't know our birds were so exotic here. Like your march-through-the-lenses experiment.

Oh I love that piece...much prettier than your water shot :>)

you have funny looking bushes out there in your end of the world. And your birds are pretty strange too. This is a tweet image though.

I love this, Robin. You get a blue ribbon.

Nice shot!

I do think the bird drunk yesterday's water and turned her from mud into porcelain ;o)

Nice shot

Is that bird species native to SD?

I have mine on my camera right now.

This is my favorite lens, but yes it is heavy...
