IMG: Mountain Bluebird

Yesterday I visited the Sierra Nevada north of Truckee California; after about 
a mile along a washboarded gravel road I found a meadow filled to overflowing 
with wild mountain light and the promise of a drenching.  At the meadow's edge 
a pair of Mountain Bluebirds was converting invertebrates into the next crop of 
blue bug-eaters:

technical stuff: R8/DMR, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt-R, shoulder stock and monopod.  The 
second photo is cropped significantly.  Note to those who obsess over pristine 
glass: this 560 has several scratches and dings in the front surface.  The lens 
was given to me in poor condition.  I removed the camo tape & had DAG repair & 
re-lube the focus.  I don't see a problem with this lens.
