The Canyon Towhee is a faithful friend. Nothing notable in the looks department, but packed with personality.
This female and her hubby remain here all year around. They think they own my wife's truck, and pitch a fit whenever they think I'm going to get close to it. They don't mind me being around, so long as I stay more than 30' away. This picture was taken at about 25', but she flew off when I tried to get closer.
The picture: I used the Tv setting, at 1/400. I stepped down to ISO 100 and set the automatic meter to compensate down by 1 F-Stop. I think it makes colors look much richer. A 1/80 shutter speed still looks crappy, though.
Want my advice? Don't waste your money on an IS lens for shooting birds. You still have to shoot at a high speed to get good shots, and image stabilization doesn't matter at 1/400.
