Bullock Oriole

A few shots of a bird I don't see too often and have never gotten a chance to shoot before.
And this Grosbeak was in the next tree over.

Nice job!
It is very hard to control exposure of colorful birds in bright light.
I see you were at 800mm. What lens did you use?

Sorry for the late answer to your question, I was up in Yellowstone again.
The lens is an old Nikon 800/5.6 ED IF AIS lens. It's manual focus so I do miss some shots but it gives me reach at a price I could afford.

Really beautiful shots. I love bird pics. Never seen this breed before. I know I am late posting, but hey, better late than never! LOL. Been a while since I visited here. Kind of slow, but the shots people post are simply excellent.
