[TN-Bird] Re: Need help with bird ID

Thanks everyone for the help.
I am using a Canon 40D with a 400mm L lens.  I either use a tripod or the
car door to help steady.  For the blue birds I used a camouflage net to get
closer.

If you are interested,  here is a link to all my bird photos.

Thanks again for the help!
