Those are nice, Mark. I especially like the eagle.

Here's a few

This one was taken in a very dark tent, with my little Canon Elph 400

An owl performing in the Animal Kingdom show.

And an exotic bird in AK Africa section (I think):

Mark, now you're just showing off!! LOL

Those are very nice. Great Hummer capture.



I also like the expression on the ladies face as the owl flew overhead.....

Most of those a pretty old and I don't seem to have the EXIF data. The hummingbirds were shot in my parents backyard where they have dozens feeding at certain times of the year. They were shot with a Canon D60 and an old 75-300 IS lens shot at around f/5.6.

I believe that the peacock was at the Denver Zoo using the same settings as above.

The pelicans were shot with a 1D Mark 2 using a Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS lens and a 2x teleconverter. It was shot at f/5.6, ISO 800, 1/1000, 40mm focal length, aperture priority mode. The pelicans were flying along the coast in Pacific Grove, CA.

The bald eagle was at the Dallas Zoo and was taken with the same camera and lens. It was shot at f/4.0, ISO 200, 1/30 second, 170mm focal length, aperture priority mode. I probably should have increased the contrast on it a bit more.
