These are AWESOME photos everyone. Definitely "calendar" quality!

I haven't taken many photos of birds lately. I did acquire something though that will make taking bird photos much easier in the future (I hope!) I found a pair of binoculars with a built in digital camera at Goodwill not long ago. I haven't had a chance to use it very much yet. I tried to download the few photos that I did take (practising) and was only able to see one of the images that I knew I'd taken. As soon as I figure it all out, I'll post some photos.

It's supposed to be best from 40+ ft. and outside.

This one I got was $15.00. It was new and still in the package.

Here is some info I found on the web about it.

In the meantime, there is a bird that showed up on my back deck last fall. I never did find out what he was. Any ideas? I managed to get about a dozen photos of this big bird. I was inside of my house and the photos were taken from about 40 ft. with full zoom on. If you need more photos, let me know. I live in the city. There is a drainage ditch that runs behind my house. We get a lot of bigger bird varieties back there, but this was the first time I'd seen one land in my yard... well, sort of in the yard anyway.
