After looking at my scores, and moping a bit, I decided to get out in the 80 degree weather and shot these in my yard today. Kind of made my day. All shot through my spotting scope at 20x. Van

These look great to me! How do you attach the camera to the spotting scope? Or is the assembly just held together by hand?

El Gordo,

Just hand held. Zoomed to get clear full frame. They don't make adaptors for my scope at this time. Thanks for the kind comments. Van

Here is one I got in downtown Detroit the week before last. Was hoping to work it into one of the challenges, but it wasn't meant to be. My buddies at work say it looks so healthy because its a popcorn and french fry bird that hangs out at the plaza.
