Pileated Woodpecker out back @ f2.8

This Pileated Woodpecker  is a daily backyard visitor  and  I haven't taken much time to photograph him and his family as of late.  This shot was an experiment as I was testing my f-stops on the 300 lens.  f2.8 is wide open on this fast lens and allows more light to enter the sensor and therefore a photo can be taken at a faster speed in low light conditions...The downside of a low f-stop is a shallow depth of field . (Which is not always a downside)
Below of course is my always photo-irresistible Annas Hummingbird.  I have taken many , many photos of this guy and each one seems very different.  Every angle he presents gives another  perspective and a differnt play of light on his feathers! 
*... All the below where shot  handheld at f-7.1 and a  shutter speed of 1/250th to 1/320th.

foggy afternoon at the duck pond

The forecast called for sun, and though I did see it peeking through a couple times, the fog stopped direct sunlight from illuminating my images.... So ISO 2000 with relatively slow shutter speeds ruled.
My highlight today was seeing a small girl and her dad feed their anxiously waiting avian friends.  I overheard her saying how they were stepping on her foot and felt heavy!   Certainly one way to win over a crowd! :)
