My typical quarry wasn't flying yesterday afternoon, so I spent some time teaching myself how the ins and outs of shooting sleeping birds along the beach....

Jim,
Beautiful work, outstanding owls..well done.Very nice to meet you. Jim, one quick question...what glass were you using for the owl work?

John

HI John....

A) Interesting that the original photo of the White Rumped Sandpipers is no longer showing up. Hmmm?

B) The owls were all shot with a Nikon 200-400 AFS VR and TC14EII. I have now sold that lens and replaced it with a Nikon 500 AFSII.

Hey Jim,

Curiously, the attached photo are White Rumped Sandpipers? If so, then they are still showing up for me when I click the Downloads button. Let me know if they are still not showing up.

As for the rest of your site...pretty wild. You have some spectacular shots on your site. Lots of great birds. I find photographing birds to be quite tough and I am always amazed by some of the work that is out here on the 'net.

Hi Jim,
That is a wonderful image. The feather is a fantastic tough to the photo.
You always seem to be in the right place at the right time.
(Well except stalking plastic owls perhaps) lololol
My Best to you
