Tried my hand at some smaller birds today in Quintana's Neotropical Bird Sanctuary. Lots of work getting these fast moving birds, but worth the effort.

Nice Shots!

Good thing you didn't go there yesterday. I went, and it was a freezing, rainy disaster. I took 2 whole shots after a 90 mile drive.

Looks like I should have waited until today

Magic! You sure picked the day for shooting. Those guys zip around so much, you must be really stoked.

Yea, the canon 2x... Works great with a few setting changes. I'm hearing that stacking an off brand 1.4x with the canon 1.4x may work better than just the 2x.
