Your bird shots are very good Lisa, why size lens are you using? I once read an article about a guy who sat in a blind all day with a little hole in it-waiting. I wonder if he had Wi-Fi 🕊

😊 Thank you! I think this was taken with my 250mm. I just got a 300mm. I don’t know if it’s better but I think it is. …oh I read about people waiting for hours. I don’t have that patience. I can wait a few minutes 😊 …but I can walk around for hours looking!
