Thanks so much, everyone! So cool to come back from a full day's shooting and see all the Bday greetings from the HSO/FM family.

It was a great day, and Paul, the fairy did bring us sun and lots of wildlife. As for a year without any gray hair, redheads are a bit blessed in that category. It rarely turns gray, it just sort of pinkens with age and finally ends up white. Luckily, not much gray yet, probably because beer likes redheads and redheads like beer.

I'll be posting a bunch of bird pics later, but first it's download, sort and process time. JayinMN and I had a good time snooping around the Sax-Zim Bog. Look for images of: boreal chickadee, white-winged crossbill, black-capped chickadee, gray jay, redpoll, downy woodpecker, rough-legged hawk (point blank range) and great gray owl (also point blank range). No ermine today, but you can't depend on the white weasel all the time!

I have to thank Steve again, he really saved my day. Dang battery went dead on my camera from the cold.

He let me use his 30d and I got some great shots.

I know you have a new love, Jay.

Glad to be of help, buddy. Backup bodies are made for moments like these.

Congratulations on a birthday well spent! I'm glad you had some success. A great gray is good any day and especially nice "at point blank range" on a b-day.
