  3. Now, that's a long beak! And--- The Allman Brothers Band, one of the best EVER. By the way, that was a cormorant in my picture...

  8. Great shot Bob! That is a great bird similar to our Long-billed Curlew. They look like big Hummingbirds in flight:)

  15. Wow!! These are fabulous, Bob!! I'd love to have that much clarity and reach. It's getting more and more difficult with my 70-200mm f/4 on my 7D... I just don't have enough reach for birding!
