falcons! checked out Iona today. never seen these near my camera ever, and had two occasions to shoot some today. branches of course were an issue again, but i kept the removal of them to a minimal. these guys made me work like crazy, back and forth, this tree , that tree.

oodles of Snow geese, of course. all i see are these guys, wherever i go!  
i saw a few hawks, but didn't get any very close. i got a crappy BIF of one, but can they mark the birds with much larger tags!

Those were all taken at Iona? Sweet - I've never had any luck there myself. Did they give you the code there or something?
This is my only good shot from there. :-(

Kyle (77civic1200) has a great shot of one too. | I have some photos of him too! From the Terra Nova falconry show. There was a rescured merlin too.

Until I sell everything I own along with my body and soul and purchase a 400 or 500mm VR, I'll have to put up with lame photos like these...  | |
