Thank you for the kind words and I found your comments on the 100-400 interesting. Getting close to wildlife is always a hit 'n miss mission. I have a few techniques that have worked very well for ...

I think you'll like the 100-300 for your airshow work. Look forward to seeing some of your results if you go that way.

That 100-400 is a pretty impressive lens in a nice size package. I'd love to have one but its just past my budget for a while.

Now that's funny!

Thank you. These are prairie dogs. Quite numerous around my locale. These are the white tailed prairie dogs, the black tailed species are found just north and east of this area.

Thanks. We seem to be getting along for the most part ;)

These are great. I especially like #3. Subject isolation is very effective.

Thank you. It really is a nice lens for the amateur naturalist.

Thank you and I concur wholeheartedly.

Thank you kindly!

Thank you for the kind words, Jasmine. I'm hoping this one keeps on tickin'! And I hope the tech folks get your P1000 sorted out for you.

What a lovely set. Severe crops or not, I think they all represent a superb collection of web wildlife pics. That tern shot is super!

Beautiful! What an opportunity and you certainly made the most of it.

A beautiful set of images. I shoot from a canoe quite often thus understand some of the difficulties involved. You are very good at this as your pictures demonstrate.

Both very nice. Excellent composition x2.
