Why didn't you use your 70-300?

I would have if I had had time to mount it. I use the 55-200 most of the time because it is VR and a digital lens. I feel lucky that I had the 55-200 and not the 18-55 when he/she decided to appear. I went back in and mounted the 70-300 but no birds came around.

Just found this one from the same shoot. I think I like it better.
