neat...those would be great to shoot close up.

Yeah, I really need to get some money so I can buy the 300 f/4 L

I think once I get it and a 1.4x TC I should be able to do a little better with wildlife, hopefully soon I can get it, assuming I sell all my SCUBA gear soon...

Very cool. My son and I almost stumbled over a flock of those just south of Corvallis. I wasn't expecting to see them away from the coast. I even fired off some shots as they took off - except that I'd left the camera on manual and they were all blown out beyond all hope.
