Thanks for the compliments guys. These shots here were a little rushed, handheld, wished I had time to get a sturdy rest, they would have been a little clearer.

Matt - thanks for answering bwhunter501's question. I do shoot a D300 and a 200-400 lens. And so far I do love it.

What my main goal is this spring is to get some great strutting grouse pics- they're hard to come by.. heres one on a stone wall..
