Hey, seen any gophers?

This guy could have cared less about us as we photographed birds. Although he did ruin a few shots as he busted the quail and chukar chicks.

Canon MKII, 300mm f/2.8.

Western Sandpiper

Posted By Cal Sandfort

This was taken in during a nasty storm so I had to throttle up the ISO which made it grainy.

Anyway, enjoy.

White-faced Ibis

Posted By Cal Sandfort

I have been sitting in my blind the last two evening trying to get a decent shot of this bird. Last night it was less than fifteen feet, perfect light from a setting sun but there was a lot of willows in the way. Tonight it was in the open, cloudy skies so poor light and it would not come that close. Maybe tomorrow :S

There's a lot of young Kestrels around the house. This one just caught a grasshopper.

I've been so busy at work lately that it's starting to be annoying. But, I always find time to check out the Forums and the photos just keep getting better and better!

This is from my last trip to Colorado. Canon MK II and 300mm lens.

I hope you like it - Cal
