Female Plover and her young

Posted By Jeff Hapeman

Chris, great pic, but when did you take this? It looks like a plover and several sanderlings in winter plumage.

White-crowned sparrow

Posted By Jeff Hapeman

That's really nice, Ty, and that is perhaps my favorite sparrow. We only see them briefly here each year in the spring as they migrate through.

What ISO were you shooting at? The image looks a bit grainy--or is that the tool doing that?

American Coot

Posted By Jeff Hapeman

Really great shot, Ty. In fact, probably the best shot of a coot I have seen.

Did you use the VR for this, or the C5? It appears too sharp for the C5 in the closeup.

Northern Flicker

Posted By Jeff Hapeman

Really awesome photos, Ty. The only thing I can see is a loss of contrast with the C5, but with the big central obstruction, that is to be expected. The sharpness and lack of CA are great. What shutter speed are you getting those at?

Little Green Heron

Really great shot, Paul. I love the lighting and the detail on the wing coverts is superb.
