Found just about anywhere in the U.S., Canada, & North West Alaska.

Approximately 12 inches.

Standing along the canyon's west rim walk and seeing this small bird fly over I almost didn't even try to photograph it.

Well, what the heck, Im here the birds in the sky, I have the camera, so I gave it my best shot. I could hardly see it with my naked eye.

So don't expect much.

*************************************************************

Ah, yes, those ole 600 mm lenses do come in handy every once in a whilte I guess.

On my digital camera they really are a 900 mm lens and using a 1.4 tele-converter makes about 2 big to talk about.

Thank God and Nikon for VR lenses.

***************************************************

Even with a VR lens I don't always get a good photo. :-))

This not the same image a the first one.

This bird is flying exstreemly fast and getting farther away by the second, so this is it.
