Title: Gnatcatcher pair
Post by: Steve Hood on May 11, 2014, 10:08:45 PM

I saw both the male and female today out in the open at Thickson Woods.  Hopefully they will stay a few months.  The shot of the female is a bit blurry as she jumped to the edge of the frame as I started shooting, but I loved her pose.

What lense are you using with your D800, the updated 80-400VR.

Thanks everyone.

Paul, I am using a m43 body (GH3) with the 100-300mm lens.  This is the only lens I have used since I started birding over 3 years ago.
