Great photos. Perfect timing on the egret and I love the ripples & colors on that last one.

Damn, you're really making me want that lens! Great pics, but that first owl shot for me - love that mid-turn action pose.

Man, these guys are fast. He was scampering up and down this tree and was almost impossible to track. He's almost totally obscured by foreground leaves and I'm not sure if it's a bit of motion blur or missed focus around his face, but it makes a passable 11x17" print.

5DII, 100-400 @400, wide open

EF 70-200 2.8 II has a great bokeh. I hope there is also something more than "just" the bokeh in my pics. ;)

Thanks Bigbob! The species is willow tit (Parus montanus). We have coal tit in Finland too. It is a very brave spacies and gets easily very close to you. Unfortunately, at my current feeding place deep oin the woods, there are no coal tits.

Nice composition, subject posture. Love the colour too.
 
Nice series. Hope the Snowy Egret catch enough tinny fishes to stay alive. :)

All very good that lens of yours is very sharp with the 1.4 converter on have you tried it with the 2x converter yet?

I have Sigma 2x TC and found it sharp enough at f6.3-f8 (f5.6 little soft), and AF fast enough for BIF actually. Some 2xTC samples:















 
Pretty good details for wide open shot.
