That is a really beautiful bird shot,

A zoom has two advantages; 1st that it covers the range of focal lengths making it more likely that one can shoot the scene one "sees" with greater fidelity, and 2) that it is much easier to ...

Attractive and well-executed image.

Really nice set of shots. I see Kestrels while hiking in the mountains but would rarely have the opportunity to photograph them.

Good first start; I believe that is a Gemmabryum moss, though I've not yet photographed that genus. There is endless fun in photographing mosses, liverworts, and lichens. I was out doing the same ...

What an enjoyable nature experience.

You are right. My best people shots in Nepal were taken with the Nikon 180 because people did not see me as I photographed them; I got totally candid cultural shots.

300mm FOV yes

Heavier lenses to accomplish the same thing that m4/3 can do is not particularly appealing. Try the 12-45....

Beautiful, is that Death Valley?

That is a very beautiful shot.

Some pretty great shots, there.

Very pretty images!

The irridescent feathers are really something. I see them at ferry docks and Edmonds Pier.

Pretty fancy, I've never seen a Mandarin Duck.

Really nice set of shots. We call those birds Common Mergansers.

Nice Bufflehead, the last. Do the Buffleheads near you dive constantly and not like to see people nearby? Mostly I see them about 30-40 M offshore.

Mmmmm.

The Northern Wrens, Bewick's Wrens, and Marsh Wrens I've shot have all been very skittery and somewhat reclusive. I've yet to get a shot of a Northern Wren at all.

What are you twelve years old. Trivial little dude aren't you?
