If you didn't have your birding lens...what lens did you have? I'd say it did the job quite well!

They look great on mobile. I rented a 70-200 lens and have been trying to get some bluebird pics at the bluebird preserve here in Victor but nada.

Doesn't everything look great on mobile?! 
Bluebirds, eh? I've been trying for a few years on and off to get anything decent. The other day while looking for bugs at a local park, one landed within 10 feet of me and I got him! They always look so sad.....poor guys.
I didn't know about the Victor Preserve. Sounds neat! Keep at it. When you say "nada", do you mean you haven't seen any? Or that you haven't been successful in getting a good shot?
Anyway here are just 2 more of the waxwing pics from my second day. It was about 10 hotter this day, and they all had their mouths open, the whole afternoon. I didn't realize it, but apparently they pant like dogs as a way of cooling off. Makes 'em look a little simple, dontcha think!

I am strong, because I've been weak.
I am fearless, because I've been afraid.
I am wise, because I've been foolish.
