[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 255477, member: 17556"] Not all of my small bird shots were taken close up. Some are cropped so heavily they are almost unusable. These little fellows, though, landed on the grass just outside the door to the building where I work. I just stood still propped against the open doorway and let them pose in front of me. I was also using my 70-300mm VR lens so I had a little reach. The ground is where I see these the most. They scare up insects with their wings and then catch them in the grass or even in mid air. That is what made me think they were Flycatchers. I honestly don't care for bird shots of birds on the ground unless they are wading birds but I took what was in front of me. :) [/QUOTE]
