Hawk

[69BirdX]

Well my neighbor called and told me there was a huge Red Tailed hawk in my backyard. As she knows im an avid birdwatcher. Ive been itching to use my early xmas present. Got a Sigma 18-250 lens for my Cannon rebel XTi. Only snaped a two pics then tired to get a little closer but it flew away. Im hoping it comes back and eats my dog

Nice, I tried to get some shots of a cardinal yesterday but he flew away. Theres a bald eagle around my house too. How do you like the lense??

really havent had to much time to play with it. I looked at it for the last 6 months and my mom bought for me as a present. I pretty much bought it for Atco so i can use it at a car show and track shots without having to change lenses. So far I like it, Def an upgrade to the factory lens 17-55. Cant wait to get better shots and better weather for atco but here is a couple more i took.

[S.J.SLEEPER]

birds? really?

well, I guess eveybodies got there own thing.

personally, I think I would shoot myself before I started waiting around to take pictures of birds, then again I don't have the extra time to take a sh** either so maybe bird watching could be relaxing.

[69BirdX]

I don't sit around waiting lol trust me I don't have time for that. But photography takes patience

I took a few pics today myself, I was waiting for some people to show up :lol:
