Wonderfull series Ben, love the grouse shot! :clap

I agree with AJ, the grouse shot is beautiful:clap.

[Dee]

but I kind of have to like the bunny in afterburner mode! They are very difficult to catch, and I love the raised paw and the angle of the body. Personally, I might crop it a little more, but this is how you see them, lots of landscape, little bunny. :clap

[jwear]

were did the walk about take place ?? very good set of shots :thumb and the grouse is the #1 very good capture :clap

[bochie]

Great capture on the bunny.
I know how fast they can move and it's really hard to get it that sharp :thumb

The last one is very nice. I love the green background.

[Phil U.]

Nice set! I agree with cropping the bunny. The last one is great! :thumb

Great Capture :thumb :clap

Excellent shots Ben. :thumb Unfortunately you lost points by calling that snowy egret a great egret. :rolleyes

[Steve Cavigliano]

:agree with Harry Ben. Plus you lose another point for agreeing that the last pic is a grouse. It's a fantastic (as in one of your best :thumb :thumb ) shot of a California Valley Quail. The ID shot (http://www.shaywood.com/quail/valley.htm) looks very similar to yours, although not as good :D



Hey, did I mention that last shot is killah? :clap :clap

[Kirwin]

Hi Ben,

Wonderful... All this was captured on one walk? If so, you indeed had an excellent day! Great series:thumb

[bfjr]

I agree with AJ, the grouse shot is beautiful:clap.
Al
I agree too
Felt real lucky to get a chance to shoot one of these "Quail", I already got docked points for the wrong name :D

Hi Dee, did your get chance to see the Fire/Rescue truck ?
I tried a tight crop on the bunny, but seem to lose it's feeling, I'll try again though
Thank you for the input, always appreciated.

Way out there JeffW
Place is called Peters Wildnerness Park, not bad got nesting birds too.
It's quite a ways though, out by OC Zoo Jamboree/Champman near.

Great capture on the bunny.

Your right, just lucky to have focus lock, two shots and he was gone.

[bfjr]

Excellent shots Ben. :thumb Unfortunately you lost points by calling that snowy egret a great egret. :rolleyes

Hi ya Harry
Your just trying to get back those triple BIF credits you were forced to give me :D

[bfjr]

Nice set! I agree with cropping the bunny. The last one is great! :thumb
Thanks Phil
Yeah Dee suggested that as well, I'll give it a shot.

[bfjr]

Hey Steve
Yeah I dig that shot, he actually stayed around enough for me to get several shots, but I think this one worked best.
Oh and thank you for the link.
Between you and Harry I won't have any points left soon :cry :D
