Nooooooo! Say it isn't so that the Florida series is ending! What phenomenal shots they've been. I have totally run out of superlatives to describe your work, so I will just sit here with my jaw on the tabletop.

(You have no idea how much I missed going birding with you and Airic and Canoncan yesterday, and seeing Daisy and Maria. (*sniffle*) Pass the Prozac)

thanks Anty.. we missed you, but you missed driving in that storm., so I wouldn't feel too bad. The snowy was out there, and we got some good looks at it., I will bet Airic will post some shots.

thanks buddy, and sorry.. I know how you feel, that's why I went out and bought this lens.. and it was a lot of cash, but worth every nickel.

Raymond, I go with Antarctican to say that there were no words to describe your hardwork.

I would like to know what lens you brought for wildlife photography (especially for the above shots). I too belong to the Nikon family (I have a D50), and would like to buy a good lens.

Thanks for sharing.

thank you ravikiran.. very much appreciated.

I shoot all my wildlife images with the 200-400 VR.. it cost me 7,700$$ Canadian. On my website, anything older then Oct 3, 2006 was shot with the 80-400 VR, a very good lens, but slow focusing.. I don't think it will work on your D50 though.
