Lots of different setups used. Minolta 7D with a 300/4, Canon 30D/40D with various lense to even include an old Leica 560mm manual focus lens for the Egret shot. Also a manual focus Nikon 800/5.6 on a D300.

Very nice pics dude! All you have to do now is capture the elusive roadrunner and you will have them all. :2thumbs:

Wow! These are just exquisite :2thumbs:. I envy photographers that can get good bird photos, because I know how hard it is. I have tried, but am limited with my 200mm lens.

Is the raptor in the 2nd and 3rd photo an American Kestrel? It is a cute little thing :nod:.

They are Kestrels, some of my favorite birds to shot since they are some pretty.
