Well, after the debatably unsuccessful BC road trip (it sure seemed that way to me, a lot of stuff went wrong, including my health) i ended up taking a bit of a web-posting sabbatical (for no real reason other than to just take a break), i still got out shooting a bit but had a bit of a dry spell in regards to the types of shots i like to get, ah well, thats summer shooting though, one must work a bit harder for the shots and i took a bit of a break.
My 500mm lens is still technically broken (dropped it just before the BC trip) but have found it usable with a teleconvertor on for some reason.
I'll get it fixed again soon but until i can bear to be without it again for a bit, it's still usable..
Anyways, here's some of my more memorable shots from the last month or so.

Cedar Waxwing

Image
Swainson's Thrush

Orange-crowned Warbler

Image

Image

Image
Black Oystercatcher

Image
Spotted Sandpiper

Image
Eastern Kingbird

Image
Belted Kingfisher

Image
Long-billed Curlew

Thanks for looking :)

Awesome shots as usual Paul. :D Hope all's well with you. I'm taking a road trip starting tomorrow. I sincerely hope the trip is problem free. I will post some when I get back. Summer has been a little slow for me as well.

wondered what happened to you Mike, good to hear it's just work-related (i've been in the same boat lately) :)
