Goldfinch

Thank you All for your wonderful comments yesterday!

I finally had the pleasure of meeting with Jim and Mary Prudente in Vail, Arizona.
Jim is a knowledgeable birder and very talented photographer, and graciously let me shoot birds in his beautiful
backyard birding habitat. He put my 20D body onto his prime 500mm lens with a 1.4x teleconverter.
This is the third posting from that shoot.
You can find Jim's wonderful work at: http://www.pbase.com/silverbowff/profile
