Nice shot, Kurt. You did a good job stitching these together.

Not a bad shot considering your problems. I usually find that my camera goes the other way to ISO 100. Too many buttons and too much feedback to handle in the heat of the moment :-)

You should have seen us today chasing a Downy Woodpecker through very thick willows with 600mm focal length and the bird about fifteen feet. I'm cussing that I can't find it in the viewfinder and my wife is telling me it flew to the right. All I can hear is go right, go right, no the other right. I missed the shot!

ID Help?

I believe this is a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. The tail seems too short for the flycatchers. I have one around the house and cannot get it to sit still long enough to get a picture.

Nice photo, Tyler

Sparrow (species?)

Beautiful photo, Tyler. I vote for a first year White-crowned because of the orangish bill. I can't quite tell but it looks like a hint of gray on the front.
