[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 138860, member: 12214"] 4-17-13: Birds I'm breaking today's photos into two groups: Birds and Other. I am trying my hand at bird photos, especially birds other than geese and crows, which we have an overabundance of. I think I have a long way to go. My choices weren't the most exciting, but they were a whole lot better than what I did the other day (and did not post). All of these photos were taken with my D3000, ISO 200 and the 55-200 kit lens. All were significantly cropped. I think I need a longer lens. :) I have already started saving for one. This robin was on the side of the driveway. I think its mate was nearby.
