Anyone heard any user reports yet? They're finally in stock in limited supply. Just curious. -Kurt Horsley

Peek-a-boo...

One of four in the same tree.
Man...look at all that purple fringing in this photo. I'm almost embarrassed to show it. I should have stopped down to f/8, but I forgot. The spot meter did okay though. -Kurt Horsley

Art work...or photography?

Posted By Kurt Horsley
I was working in digital image pro 10.0 and created this image of a painted bunting that I captured last May.
What do you think? Is it still photography...or has it crossed the line into artwork? -Kurt Horsley

Female Blue Heron...

...on the nest. She had two chicks so small that they couldn't be seen over the edge of the nest.

Identification help

Posted By Kurt Horsley
I caught this guy yesterday sitting on the dam of a lake. His behavior was pure "wren" right down to the tail bobbing. But, I'm not too sure it actually is a wren. I can't get a good match in any of my books. Perhaps it's a cactus wren, or even a thrush. Anyone have a good guess? -Kurt Horsley

ID Help

Posted By Kurt Horsley
This is a truly terrible picture but I thought I'd post it anyway to see if anyone can identify the bird. I photographed it near Austin, TX last month.
I'm thinking it might be a scarlet tanager, but it doesn't look like the others I've seen before. It was a fairly large bird, even for a tanager.
I had to shoot it through glass and in low light so the image is really bad. -Kurt Horsley

Triplets

Came across these three guys while out birding. They were so tame and unafraid that I could actually reach out and touch them. -Kurt Horsley
