The catbird is not my main problem. It's actually a small group of white-breasted nuthatches that are in the area. I caught two of those as well, but i did not have my camera on me to take a shot. Although I have plenty of berries yet to ripen as i have a lot of mid and late season varieties, so I am sure I will catch another. The robins have been congregating around the nets but they have not found a way in yet. I have a few dozen bunches of grapes and a plethora of blackberries right now. Those are my next netting projects.

Totally awesome photos, Mark-I'll go prepare to roll out the red carpet! I know it's started; I was sitting in the woods this morning trying to get a clear shot of an Eastern Towhee male, when a first year female Blackpoll Warbler came by to see what I was From April 2009

Gorgeous photos. The male tree swallow is iridescent in your pics! I do question your final id though, are you really sure that's a rabbit? (big grin)

Wow, I could have sworn I answered this a little while ago but it isn't showing up. Anyway, sorry for the delay, I've been out of town and just saw the requests for info. I will update MyPage but it is a Canon Rebel XT1i. The standard lens is an 18-55 mm, and we added a 55-250 zoom. Both lenses are image stabilized. All of the shots here were with the zoom. Thanks for the compliments!
