 Sorta bummed I didn't get a more interesting shot than this, considering I went out to the prairie and stalked raptors for a whole day. This took about an hour to get counting the 20 minutes of walking, and was edited in about 10 minutes. Here's to hoping my score is isn't half terrible :)
I figured I had to enter SOMETHING since I have a Bigma.

Holy crap - that's a monster of a lens! I'm guessing the magpie was very flattered and probably told all of his friends! :-) Thanks for the note.
