Day #23 Jan. 23
On the morning walk, spotted something in the top of a tree. Closer examination discovered this Woodpecker (I don't know what kind, Merlin is keeping it a secret. Ha!)
This Loggerhead Shrike is pretty dependable to be in the same place every day.
I almost missed this sunset tonight.

Male ladderback; very nice.
Thanks. The iphone Merlin APP did not show it, but after you told me I looked it up at the Merlin web site and there it was. Ha!
The majority of my bird shots are heavily cropped. They are usually taken while I am doing my daily walk around the property with the dog. The 70-300 is on the D7100 which hasn't seen any other lens since I got it. The 18-55 is on the D5300 where it has been since I got the D7100.Your doing well with the 70-300 on birds,wait till you get a 600
The 600 is only a pipe dream for now. Too many wants, so I would have to get rid of my wife to cover the costs. Ha!
Thanks, and I wish I had it figured out. Ha! Now my problem is that I am getting used to having more control of settings using dials instead of going into the menu as is done with the D5300. I was really comfortable with the D5300, but now after using the 7100 I have to think about how to change something with the 5300. Oh well, the agony of having to deal with variety.
seems like a good trade in??? lol
Probably, some days... <No, no honey, I didn't mean it that way. Ooooh, ooooh, ouch...>

The past few days photography has been somewhat limited. I finally have time to process some photos and post, so I am catching up.
One for the Discarded/Thrown Away Challenge
Quickly tried out the new Yongnuo YN568EX. Just a quick shot to make sure it worked on the camera.
Added a little GIMP Blackboard effect.

This will get me caught up.
A sparrow that would not cooperate. I only got one shot with the head turned so eye and beak were visible, but it was not in focus. This one was the one that ended up in focus.
A Curve-Billed Thrasher They seem to be one of the few birds I have been seeing lately.
A quick shot of one of the Quail in the covey that I came upon. Have you ever tried to shoot (with camera) these quick up and down flying birds? Ha!
