Useless trivia alert: The number of 'dees' in a Chickadee's 'Chicka dee dee dee' indicates the degree of threat

)

Beaut shot, BTW

Those must be highly poisonous parakeets! Keep clear!

Nice shots everyone

rajacat - great 'yellowleg' - i like the one with the near perfect reflection in the water. Good composition

dilznoofus: Beautiful birds - what lens did you snipe those guys with? It looks pretty telephoto. Did you get some flash on there too?

JohnR - thanks for the comments

all done with a d200 and a Nikkor 300mm/F4

Really nice photos, RooX.

I recently purchased a D200 I'm still getting to know, and though I don't have a true telephoto yet, I'm quite satisfied with the Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 that came with.

The D200 was a big step up for me, and I'm enjoying it immensely. I just wish the learning curve was a little steeper. That, or that life would slow just a bit so I could spend more time with the camera!

darn, i was hoping for "birds" in the English tradition from England...

That flamingo kinda looks like a dinosaur in that shot. Like a lurking pink raptor or something. I like the blue-headed bird at the end too.

Kookaburra

Tawny Frogmouth

Struthio Camelus or Ostrich

Curlew
