I used my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT 350D, with EOS Lens 70 – 300mm. Focal Length 300
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
I have done a lot of shooting this year, Wish I had my new camera for most of the shots I have done. This one is my absolute favorite that I did this year. I entered it into a competition, and it won, so now it is time to share it with all of you. I do hope you get as excited as I did. I did work on it in PS a little, I thought it blurred some, not as sharp as I would like, and I had to take some noise out. I cropped it just a little, and saturated the color. Thats about it.

Outstanding photograph Charlene!!!!
And oh the patience you must have to capture a shot like this one!!!
Charlene Aycoc... replied 21 days ago
Kenspics, I knew where the nest was, and where she lived, lol. Holding my camera and shooting a lot, she left of course quite often, but came back every few minutes to feed like this. I did not get the shot right away, and I did get frustrated with myself a few times, and even when I finished, I was not happy when I down loaded them into the computer, but with PS help it grew on me.

I’m extremely jealous… Awesome capture…
Charlene Aycoc... replied 20 days ago
Dennis: i am jealous of just about everyone’s work here, including yours. I don’t have a great camera or lens, and am praying to be able to purchase a D50 and a couple of real good lens this Christmas. My pictures don’t seem to be as crisp and clear as everyone else’s. I get lots of noise or blurred shots. LOL, I was even disappointed in this shot! But, I knew it was a great capture, just not as crisp and clean as I have seen. You made my day with your comment, and I thank you so much for that.

Check out the Pine trees. Most I have watched from my front porch fly from my feeder to a Pine tree. I use to watch them for hours where I use to live.
