Brendan, Nice story and a good try. I'm surprised he waited as long as he did for you! Keep watching, he'll be back. We have one here that visits often, checking the feeders for Breakfast or Lunch opportunities. Getting a camera on him is tough. You did well. Regards, Bob S. On Thu, Feb 17, 2011

You got it, David! If I do get the 60~250, I won't let this go 'til I check the two lenses against each other. I seriously doubt that the 80~320 will equal it in res/contrast, plus, the 60~250 is an f/4 constant aperture. I only paid $189 + shipping (Keh as I recall) and it is as new. Unblemished a

Just had a peek at the area via a google search. Looks like quite an area for birds and raptors, so it says. If you decide to dump the 80-300 when you get the 60-250, let me know. Dave On Nov 28, 2007 9:10 AM, Jack Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What a rich fortunate circumstance it has been
