These guys are found on the prairie short grass and are a real delight to watch flutter and sing on the wing, he was sitting on this ten inch rock which was the highest spot for miles.

What a smart looking fellow. I can understand your interest in birds. We here in the Sonoran desert, enjoy the Magpie, an assorted variety of finches, humming birds and of course the doves. A great photo here; a compliment to your patience.

Fabulous image! Very impressed at how crisp and clear your captures are at 500+1.4! A new bird for me, beautifully captured!

SUPERB! I doubt I could lift a 500mm lens nowadays, let alone get a pic with one!

I can't even imagine how many attempts it must have taken to get this kind of Audubon-guide quality - unless he's really a Longspur-for-hire. C'mon, admit it: he's a professional model!
