Jay–Glad to hear you’re doing well. Make at least a little time to get out–we all need it!

Joe–All the bird photos in this post are taken with a Canon 20D, a nice camera that’s really beginning to show its age, feature-wise…can’t wait to upgrade! The lens is Canon’s 300mm f4L IS, with a Canon 1.4X extender. This is adequate for small birds, but you have to get really close. Most of the pros use 500s or 600s, often with a 1.4X or a 2X.

Those are some good shots sir. I wish I had an opportunity to actually go birding during this stressful time of year. I’m defending my thesis in a few weeks and just got back from Monterrey from a scientific conference. (It’s an incredibly odd feeling to see the front page of the Monterrey paper where government officials are wearing masks at the central bus station, which is where I’m headed in 30 minutes to come home…) Otherwise like is great.

Take care.
