It always happens. I take the dog for a walk, and see a bird. This time it was a Lapland Longspur, a bird from the north. They nest on the tundra and winter down in the states in open areas. As I was driving out this morning, he (or she) was at the end of my drive and very nicely sat still for me.
I am in awe of my lens. It's a Nikon 80-400 with antivibration . I had always been trained to use a tripod. It was so ingrained in me that I always used one. But I had also been trained to try different styles and techniques. Well the darn thing works. Hand held without support. Yep, it's a Lapland longspur!

Just FYI...
Cosmo and I finally checked out Hunter Cove yesterday. I thought it was a little swampy, but the old boy thought it was fantastic!
Thanks - I love to see him smile.
Great photo. How nice of it to pose for you.
That's the lens I use for my bird shots. I love it!
Amanda- I knew Cosmo would love Hunter Cove, it's a great spot,(mud included)
Doug- Thanks!. These little guys are real bold, you almost could walk up to them.
Snail- I think back to all the pictures I couldn't get before this lens came along, and well, I don't want to talk about it!
