Is this some kind of Warbler?

I am psyched. I received my Scopetronix Maxview 40 Pentax. It's a Maxview 40 made specially to work with the Pentax spotting scope. I also got an adapter to fit my Sony digital camera. What I didn't realize is my Canon 10D also fits it! The Maxview 40 Pentax comes with a standard t thread size male screw mount. the adapter for the digital camera fits to that. The other bonus is the eyepiece itself. It is beautiful. It's a 40mm 1 1/4" eyepiece, well made and very sharp. I highly recommend it!

The attached photo is "first light" of a bird in my backyard. I don't have my Bogen tripod yet so the cheap tripod I used was very shakey. Still I am very excited about the results.
