stmv,
All of the images BEFORE this post were done with my Nikon Nikkor 300mm f4 lens and my Nikon TC EII 1.4 teleconverter on my D800. Most if not all are hand held.
The images below were shot with my Nikon 400mm f3.5 lens on the D800, but on a tripod.
Beautiful Cardinal
Lovely Dove
Fantastic and fun to watch Woodpecker

My advice, get the Nikon TC. The 1.4 is amazing glass. You can not tell the difference when you put it on and it turns your lens in to a 420mm f5.6. One sunny days, the lens sings. You will definitely not be disappointed.
This below is a Common Redpoll, again, taken with the Nikon 400mm.
and a Black Capped Chickadee

Every once in a while, the photography subject gods grant me a moment to savour my camera, my hobby and my love of nature.....

Thank you to everyone who has commented so far. I greatly appreciate reading your comments. 
Funny, I just saw one fly over my head. The other day I saw probably the same one trying to carry off something, but dropped it. Some kind of medium sized rodent! hah
Great pics!

Thank you, John, greatly appreciated.
The RTH is a great bird to photograph. They are predictable in some ways in that they have areas they like to hunt in and seem to rotate them. When I see one in the morning driving into the office, always know they will be in certain sports during the day and sure enough, they do not disappoint. A very interesting bird. I love taking pictures of them.

Thank you, Charles, greatly appreciated. Here are a couple more. I was lucky enough to get a window of opportunity with the bad weather we are having and finally got a little bit of sunlight here and there on the weekend.
These are all taken with:
Nikon D800
Nikon 400mm f3.5 Ai-S
Tripod Mount
Camera set to manual
Beautiful male Cardinal, whose colours simply popped in the grey, overcast light.
Black Capped Chickadee
Starling
Wood Pecker
Common House Finch
Really nice, all of them. You might start thinking about changing your copyright signature to 2013 though…

Thanks for reminding me. I have been meaning to do it and keep forgetting when I actually do the PP on the photos to make them ready to post. I am going to do it right now, since it is fresh in my head.
Thanks, Marcel!!!
{edited/updated - DONE!

Still WINGED but not feathered....
I was in Niagara Falls, Ontario this past weekend and one of my favourite places to stop is the Butterfly Conservatory. A few images for you to enjoy.
These are all taken with my:
Nikon D800
Nikon 105mm f2.8
Nikon SB-910 flash
all with:
- no left focus issues
- the camera did not damage any of my lenses
- and the view screen on the back has no green tint
- I had no firmware issues
- the mirror did not lock up
- I have no oil spill on my sensor
- as far as I can tell, the radiation level from the light meter has not made me infertile yet
- and I don't schill for C@non
If you see something technically wrong with the images below or something is broken, assume it is all my fault.
Enjoy!
