Since I haven't been able to shoot much recently and I haven't posted a bird yet, here's a digiscoped Yellow-headed Blackbird from Malheur National Wildlife Refuge I took on my last trip there (2006).
Nikon Coolpix 8400
Nikon Fieldscope III ED 60mm

Very nice John, he is a beautiful bird. I think that a shift in position would help in composition, beyond that, this is a beautiful photo.
Please share some additional details regarding your equipment setup . . .
that is durn good for digiscope! Poor thing looks like it's impaled on its perch. Good photo.

Thanks AJ and Catherine.
AJ, I shot this photo from my car with a window mount for my spotting scope. As noted, I used a Nikon Coolpix 8400 digicam mounted on a Nikon Fieldscope III 60mm ED spotting scope, (using a Scopetronix adapter). For an active bird I usually use my finger to release the shutter, for birds not moving around I use a remote release.
